Topic: Edomites



  
 Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible [Genesis, Chapter XXXVI].

The Judeans were back on their farmlands and were strongly in control of their territory, and they had driven the Edomites back to a very hardscrabble existence on their small traditional territory south of the Dead Sea.
