They were descendants of Esau. They inhabited a fertile and rich country specially given to them (Deu_2:5; Gen_27:39). Their country was traversed by roads though it was mountainous and rocky (Num_20:17; Jer_49:16). They were governed by dukes and later by kings (Gen_36:15-30; Num_20:14). -n character they are said to have been wise, proud and self-confident, strong and cruel, vindictive, idolatrous and superstitious (Jer_49:7, Jer_49:16, Jer_49:19; Eze_25:12; 2Ch_25:14, 2Ch_25:20; Jer_27:3). They inhabited the cities of Avith, Pau, Bozrah, Teman and others.
