About this episode
In this, the 5th episode in our series on biblical genealogy, Dr Rob explains the origins of the nations that surrounded (and still surround) Israel. He explains who the Philistines, the Phoenicians, the Aramaeans, the Ammonites, the Moabites, and the Edomites were while adding lots of interesting little factoids that help us better understand the Bible.
Notes and links:
- Egyptian mummies and Hebrew perfume
- Who were the Philistines?
- The ‘Table of Nations’ (Genesis 10 and 11)

- The descendants of Seir, the kings of Edom, and the chiefs of Edom
