Best Answer

The Edomites were people who lived in the Kingdom of Edom, which was a land south of Judah. It was a very dry country, and the people there depended economically on caravan trade. According to The Bible, a king of Edom refused to allow the Hebrews to pass through his country on their way to Canaan; they went around it rather than wage war with him. Nearly nothing is known about their religion, but they were converted to Judaism in 125 BC.

Edomites are the descendants of Esau (brother of Jacob).

Esau means hairy in Hebrew; he was also called Edom, which means red (see Gen 25:25,30).
