  rough; hairy. (1.) A Horite; one of the "dukes" of Edom (Gen.
  36:20-30).
  
    (2.) The name of a mountainous region occupied by the
  Edomites, extending along the eastern side of the Arabah from
  the south-eastern extremity of the Dead Sea to near the Akabah,
  or the eastern branch of the Red Sea. It was originally occupied

  the Edomites (Gen. 32:3; 33:14, 16). It was allotted to the
  descendants of Esau (Deut. 2:4, 22; Josh. 24:4; 2 Chr. 20:10;
  Isa. 21:11; Exek. 25:8).
