This is the name given to Judith, the daughter of
Beeri = Anah (Gen. 26:34; 36:2), when she became the wife of Esau.
A district among the mountains of Edom, probably near Mount Hor, was named her, or it may be that she received her name from the district. From her descended three tribes of Edomites, founded by her three sons.
