Pau standard

Where is Pau in the Bible?

Pau was a city in ancient Edom, a region located southeast of the Dead Sea in what is now southern Jordan. This place appears in the Bible only in Genesis 36:39, where it is mentioned as the home of Hadar, one of the kings of Edom listed in the genealogy of Esau's descendants. The reference to Pau serves primarily as a geographical marker within the historical record of Edom's early monarchy, helping to document the lineage and territorial settlements of Esau's line before the nation of Israel emerged as a major power in Canaan.
