etymology

edit

Where did someone come up with the idea that Etzion Gaver means "giant's backbone"??? Etzion comes from the root for "tree" (etz) and "gever" is a man. If no one comes up with a source for this, I will delete it.--Gilabrand 09:51, 30 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

In Idumea?!

edit

A city in [[Idumea]?! Idumea is a term used by classical sources referring to a much later entity than the Iron Age kingdom of Edom. Very misleading. Also, as E.G. only appears in the Hebrew Bible as an alleged foundation of Solomon, it is an Israelite city. It can of couse be built on conquered Edomite territory, but this needs to be clearly stated. Arminden (talk) 16:58, 29 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
