Edom in the [[Bible]] is a name for [[Esau]] and his descendant nation. The nation existed as long ago as the 11th century B.C., but disappeared due to the Jewish-Roman Wars. The Hebrew word 'Edom' (אדם or אדום) means 'red' or 'red stuff', and is a reference to the red stew that Esau asked of [[Jacob]] in exchange for Esau's birthright.<ref>{{Bible ref|book=Genesis|chap=25|verses=29-34|version=NIV}}</ref>
