QUEM ERAM OS EDOMITAS: A HISTÓRIA DE EDOM, O IRMÃO DE ISRAEL NA BÍBLIA

Do you know who the Edomites were in the Bible? The people of Edom are often mentioned in the Bible as adversaries of the Israelites. In fact, in some parts of the biblical text the Edomites are described as an extremely brutal people. However, the history of the Edomites goes back to the person of Esau, brother of Jacob, the patriarch of Israel. BIBLICAL COURSE FOR TRAINING IN THEOLOGY: ► https://bit.ly/estude-teologia-online The Edomites were a strong and warlike people who settled in a mountainous and rocky land to the south of Israel. This nation, which had such close family ties to Israel, became one of its greatest enemies. To understand the history of hostility between the Edomites and the Israelites, it is necessary to go back to the time of the patriarchs of Israel. The Bible says that Isaac had two sons: Esau and Jacob. From a very early age, there was a rivalry between these two brothers, and this rivalry was reproduced in the stories of their descendants. While the Israelites descended from Jacob, the Edomites descended from Esau. The word Edom means “red,” and is used in the Bible to refer to Esau, the territory of Edom, and the inhabitants of that territory, the Edomites.
