Biblically the “tents of” condition alludes to either refugees or military encampments. In the Edomite instance their refugee condition became a reality in 1949 when the Palestinian Refugee crisis commenced. Up until that time they were known as the Arabs of Palestine, these days they are referred to as refugees.
Thank you for that information, I’ve learned something new tonight.
I was actually thinking of the story (probably untrue, but still amusing) of how the Israeli Ambassador to the UN was in a discussion with Arab representatives regarding the Palestinian issue, and the Ambassador said “let me explain to you why it is so difficult to trust the Palestinians, when the Nation Israel was wandering the desert for 40 years, Moses stopped at a small oasis of water to bathe himself, and it was noneother than two Palestinians who stole his clothing, forcing him to wrap himself in local foilage and leaves...” and the Arab and Palestinians representatives arose as one, shouting “that is a LIE! There were no Palestinians back in the time of Moses!”
Whereupon the Israeli Ambassador said “thank you for conceding that point, now let us move on to the issue of ‘what land belongs to who’...”
Refugees from what? The Israelis did not kick them out. In fact they called for them to stay. It was the Arab states that assured them that if they left, they could return shortly and be in possession of all the property of the Jews, after the Arab armies drove the Jews into the sea, or just killed them outright. Property that in many cases they or their parents had overcharged the Jews for in the first place.
