Ezekiel 25:13

“Therefore thus saith the Lord God, &c.] Because of such base and barbarous usage, from a people that were originally brethren: I will also stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; by the army of Nebuchadnezzar, by the sword of the Chaldeans, and by famine and pestilence, and such like sore judgments; in which the hand of God is manifestly seen: and I will make it desolate from Teman; a very principal city of Edom, so called from Teman, the son of Eliphaz, the son of Esau, (<013615>Genesis 36:15) it lay in the south of the land of Idumea; the Targum renders it, “from the south”: and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword; of the Babylonians; this was another…”

“Teman . . . they of Dedan--rather, "I will make it desolate from Teman (in the south) even to Dedan (in the northwest)" [GROTIUS], (Jer 49:8), that is, the whole country from north to south, stretching from the south of the Dead Sea to the Elanitic gulf of the Red Sea.”

“From Teman ... - Or “from Teman” even unto “Dedan,” “shall they fall.” Teman and Dedan were districts (not cities), the former in the south (Ezekiel 20:46 note), the latter in the north (“over the whole country”). return to 'Top of Page'”

“Teman - A country in the southern coast of Edom. Dedan - Adjoining to Edom. Ezekiel 25:15”

“I will also: Eze 25:7, Eze 25:16; Isa. 34:1-17, Isa 63:1-6; Lam 4:21, Lam 4:22; Mal 1:3, Mal 1:4 and will: Eze 14:8, Eze 14:13, Eze 14:17, Eze 14:19-21, Eze 29:8; Gen 6:7; Jer 7:20 Teman: Gen 36:11; Jer 49:7, Jer 49:20; Oba 1:9; Hab 3:3 of Dedan shall fall by the sword: or, shall fall by the sword unto Dedan, Jer 25:23, Jer 49:8 Ezekiel 25:14”
