Strong's Lexicon Idoumaia: Idumea Original Word: Ἰδουμαία Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew אֱדוֹם (Edom) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H123: אֱדוֹם (Edom) Usage: Idoumaia refers to the region known as Edom in the Old Testament. It is located south of Judea and was inhabited by the descendants of Esau, the brother of Jacob. In the New Testament, Idoumaia is mentioned as a geographical area from which people came to hear Jesus. Cultural and Historical Background: Idoumaia, or Edom, has a rich history intertwined with the Israelites. The Edomites were descendants of Esau and often had contentious relations with Israel. During the intertestamental period, the region was conquered by the Maccabees and later integrated into the Herodian kingdom. By the time of the New Testament, Idoumaia was a Roman province. The Herodian dynasty, including Herod the Great, had Idumean roots, which played a significant role in the political landscape of Judea during the time of Jesus.
