    3. Hello Jane, Possibly the saint, Edom, was also known as Esau. From the Encyclopaedia Britannica: 'Esau, also called Edom, in the Old Testament, son of Isaac and Rebekah, elder twin brother of Jacob, and in Hebrew tradition the ancestor of the Edomites.' 'Edom, ancient land bordering ancient Israel in what is now southwestern Jordon, between the Dead Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba.'
