Chronological Nations and Tribes
Edomites: Descendants of Esau, living southeast of Israel, contemporary with the Israelites.
Horites: Inhabitants of Edom before the Edomites, contemporary with the early patriarchs.
The Laws for Humans
Biglino notes that this aligns with the general view he has been presenting for years: that a group of Elohim gave various populations—Moabites, Ammonites, Amalekites, Edomites, and Israelites—a series of rules and regulations, which also included practical teachings such as metallurgy.
Genesis 36:20-30: This chapter provides a genealogy of Esau, who is described as the father of the Edomites.
It includes a list of Horite chiefs, suggesting that the Horites were integrated into Edomite society.
Deuteronomy 2:12: This passage recounts how the Edomites, descended from Esau, lived in the land of Seir before displacing the Horites.
Yahweh YHWH
Van Der Toorn concludes: "By the 14th century BC, before the cult of Yahweh had reached Israel, groups of Edomites and Midianites worshipped Yahweh as their god."
