It was in an area that is now in Jordan. At times, it had been under Judean control. If I remember correctly, King Herod was a descendant of an Edomite family.
Interesting now because so much of Jordan is populated by the Palestinians. Gaza is basically the old Philistine lands. Palestine is a variation of Philistine, for what it is worth...
Things that are interesting in the contemplation thereof.
Thanks. That matches a lot of my understanding. But it's an osmosis understanding, not a studied one.
