Where is Esau_Mount in the Bible?

Mount Esau refers to the mountainous region of Edom, located southeast of the Dead Sea in what is now modern-day Jordan. This territory was the homeland of Esau, the brother of Jacob, and his descendants, the Edomites. The prophet Obadiah specifically addressed Mount Esau when declaring God's judgment against Edom for their hostility toward Israel, particularly for their actions during Israel's time of distress. The book of Obadiah emphasizes that Edom's pride in their mountain strongholds would not protect them from God's coming judgment, making Mount Esau a symbol of human pride opposed to God's purposes.
