Esau, the brother of Jacob, settled in the region of Seir, which is located in the mountainous area southeast of the Dead Sea. The Edomites are often mentioned in the Bible as relatives of the Israelites, and their land was not to be taken by Israel (<a href="/deuteronomy/2-5.htm">Deuteronomy 2:5</a>). This highlights God's sovereignty and His role in establishing nations and their boundaries. The Edomites' possession of Seir was a fulfillment of God's promise to Esau, showing His faithfulness to His word (<a href="/genesis/36-8.htm">Genesis 36:8</a>).<p><b>when He destroyed the Horites from before them</b><br>The Horites were the original inhabitants of the land of Seir before the Edomites. They are mentioned in <a href="/genesis/14-6.htm">Genesis 14:6</a> and are considered to be a group of people who lived in the region before being displaced. God's destruction of the Horites to make way for Esau's descendants demonstrates His active role in history and His power to remove and establish peoples according to His divine plan. This act of displacement is similar to what God would later do for Israel in Canaan, showing a pattern of divine intervention in the establishment of His chosen peoples.<p><b>They drove them out and have lived in their place to this day</b><br>This phrase indicates the successful settlement of the Edomites in the land of Seir, which they maintained up to the time of the writing of Deuteronomy. The phrase "to this day" suggests a long-term occupation, emphasizing the stability and permanence of God's provision for Esau's descendants. This enduring settlement serves as a testament to God's promises and His ability to fulfill them over generations. It also serves as a parallel to the Israelites' future conquest and settlement of Canaan, reinforcing the theme of divine providence and faithfulness throughout the biblical narrative.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/descendants_of_esau.htm">Descendants of Esau</a></b><br>Also known as the Edomites, they are the descendants of Esau, the brother of Jacob.
