Avith standard

Where is Avith in the Bible?

Avith was an ancient city in Edom, a region located southeast of the Dead Sea in what is now southern Jordan. The city appears in the Book of Genesis as the capital of Hadad, an early Edomite king during the patriarchal period. Avith is mentioned specifically in Genesis 36:35, where it identifies Hadad's seat of power among the early kings of Edom before the establishment of the monarchy in Israel. Though its exact location remains uncertain today, Avith represents an important political center in the early history of Edom, one of Israel's neighboring nations. The reference to Avith contributes to the biblical record of pre-Israelite kingdoms and territorial divisions in the ancient Near East.
