<p> (Hebrews Avith', עֲוִית, '' | <p> (Hebrews Avith', עֲוִית, ''Ruins;'' Sept. Γεθαίμ, Vulg. ''Avith),'' a city of the Edomites, and the native place (capital) of one of their kings, Hadad ben- Bedad; before there were kings in [[Israel]] ( Genesis 36:35; 1 Chronicles 1:46, where the Hebrews text has עֲיוֹת, ''Ayoth','' Sept, Γεθθάμ v. r. Γεθαίμ, Εὐιθ, Vulg. ''Avith).'' It would seem to have been situated at the north-eastern extremity of the range of Mount Seir, as the king is stated to have thence made a hostile incursion into the territory of his Moabitish neighbors who were leagued with the Midianites. The name may be compared with ''El-Ghoweitheh,'' a "chain of low hills" mentioned by [[Burckhardt]] (p. 375) as lying to the east of the district of Kerek in Moab </p> <p> (Knobel, Genesis, p. 257). </p> | ||
