| | Nabataea: Hyksos and Edom, Chapter Seven, Religon and Date of Edomite Empire |
 | | Thus up to the reign of Jobab, the second King of Edom, the worship of Jehovah was continued in general amongst the Edomites, either truly and sincerely or just nominally by the individuals. |
 | | That king's name was Baal-hanan, meaning, "To whom Baal is merciful," or, "Whom Baal loves." The name "Jehovah" compounded into personal names appears less and less; "Baal" appears instead. |
 | | From all we know of the later Edomites it seems that Baal, in one form or another, was their principal god. |
