Edom

ɛdɔm English Etymology From en la-lat Edōm from en grc-koi Ἐδώμ from en hbo אֱדוֹם ʾĔḏōm. The medieval Jewish use of Edom to refer to Christians referred to their view of Christianity as a heresy that originated from Judaism, comparing Christians to Esau as a relative who was hostile to Jacob (who represented the Jewish people). It originated from Jewish writings that compared the Roman authorities to Edom for their persecution of Jewish people, which was later applied to Christianity when the latter became the state religion of the Roman Empire.Esau the Ancestor of Rome, The Torah.com Pronunciation ēʹdəm, en /ˈi.dəm/ en LL-Q1860 (eng)-Vealhurl-Edom.wav Southern England en iːdəm 2 en E dom Proper noun en biblical The name given to Esau in the Hebrew Bible. en historical A region whose inhabitants, the Edomites, traditionally traced their ancestry to Esau. en Judaism historical chiefly derogatory collective Rome, the Roman Empire. en Judaism historical chiefly derogatory collective Christianity; Christendom, the Christian countries.
