In the time of the Old Testament it was the southeastern neighbor of the Southern Kingdom. The Edomites are related to the Israelites. Esau was the son of Isaac. The close relationship of Esau to Israel is especially emphasized in the narratives which point out his closeness with Jacob-Israel, and describe their birth as twins (Gen. 25). Biblical information about Edom may be divided into two types. The first type is the original material, which apparently originated in Edom itself and somehow made its way to Israel, and which is found mainly in Genesis 36. The second type is information about Edom which is connected with the history of Israel. These two types of material give a chronological coverage of the two periods of Edom’s history. The original material about Edom is from the period before the monarchy was established in Israel. On the other hand, the material about Edom which is contained in the Israelite history covers the period of the monarchy in Israel and Judah, and, in fact, beginning with the time of David, the history of Edom is contained within the history of Israel.plAttribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Polandhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/pl/Bliski WschódEdomEdomicihistoria starożytnahistoriastarożytnośćBibliaPismo ŚwięteStary TestamentIzraelgenealogia biblijnapolitykaMiddle Eastancient historyhistoryantiquityBibleOld TestamentIsraelbiblical genealogypoliticsArticle
