Edom

Japanese: エドム(英語表記)Edom
Edom
The area is south-southeast of the Dead Sea and reaches the Gulf of Aqaba. It is in what is now southwestern Jordan. Semi-agricultural, semi-nomadic people lived here as early as the 4th millennium BC, but there are few traces of habitation from the Middle and Late Bronze Ages after 1900 BC. Egyptian records show the area beginning around 1200 BC, when the Semitic Edomites inhabited the area. It came under the control of the Kingdom of Israel around the 11th to 10th centuries BC. Due to its geographical location connecting Arabia and the Mediterranean Sea, Solomon used Edom as a base to trade with the Arabs and develop their resources, making him wealthy.

死海の南南東,アカバ湾にいたる地域。現ヨルダンの南西部。前4千年紀にすでに半農半遊牧の人々が居住していたが,前 1900年以降の中期および後期青銅器時代には,ほとんど居住の跡がない。前 1200年頃よりエジプトの記録に現れるようになり,この頃よりセム系のエドム人が居住した。前 11~10世紀頃イスラエル王国の支配下に入った。アラビアと地中海とを結ぶ地理上の位置にあったことから,ソロモンはエドムを拠点として,アラビア人との交易,資源の開発を行い,富を築いた。
