Edom

'Edom' or 'Idumea,' as in Isaiah 34:5, signifies people who are in evil and falsities derived there.

Ezekiel 32:25

²⁵ They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude: her graves are round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword: though their terror was caused in the land of the living, yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of them that be slain.

34. Internal Meaning of Isaiah, Chapter 34

1-8 A last judgment upon all who are in evil and in falsities therefrom, is described. (15)

9-15 Having been cast down into hell they will abide in horrid falsities and evils to eternity. (15)

16 This has been foretold. (15)

17 It will be otherwise with those who are not such. (11)
