From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Eden
      delight. (1.) The garden in which our first parents dewlt (Gen.
      2:8-17). No geographical question has been so much discussed as
      that bearing on its site. It has been placed in Armenia, in the
      region west of the Caspian Sea, in Media, near Damascus, in
      Palestine, in Southern Arabia, and in Babylonia. The site must
      undoubtedly be sought for somewhere along the course of the
      great streams the Tigris and the Euphrates of Western Asia, in
      "the land of Shinar" or Babylonia. The region from about lat. 33
      degrees 30' to lat. 31 degrees, which is a very rich and fertile
      tract, has been by the most competent authorities agreed on as
      the probable site of Eden. "It is a region where streams abound,
      where they divide and re-unite, where alone in the Mesopotamian
      tract can be found the phenomenon of a single river parting into
      four arms, each of which is or has been a river of consequence."
     
         Among almost all nations there are traditions of the primitive
      innocence of our race in the garden of Eden. This was the
      "golden age" to which the Greeks looked back. Men then lived a
      "life free from care, and without labour and sorrow. Old age was
      unknown; the body never lost its vigour; existence was a
      perpetual feast without a taint of evil. The earth brought forth
      spontaneously all things that were good in profuse abundance."
     
         (2.) One of the markets whence the merchants of Tyre obtained
      richly embroidered stuffs (Ezek. 27:23); the same, probably, as
      that mentioned in 2 Kings 19:12, and Isa. 37:12, as the name of
      a region conquered by the Assyrians.
     
         (3.) Son of Joah, and one of the Levites who assisted in
      reforming the public worship of the sanctuary in the time of
      Hezekiah (2 Chr. 29:12).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Edom
      (1.) The name of Esau (q.v.), Gen. 25:30, "Feed me, I pray thee,
      with that same red pottage [Heb. haadom, haadom, i.e., 'the red
      pottage, the red pottage'] ...Therefore was his name called
      Edom", i.e., Red.
     
         (2.) Idumea (Isa. 34:5, 6; Ezek. 35:15). "The field of Edom"
      (Gen. 32:3), "the land of Edom" (Gen. 36:16), was mountainous
      (Obad. 1:8, 9, 19, 21). It was called the land, or "the mountain
      of Seir," the rough hills on the east side of the Arabah. It
      extended from the head of the Gulf of Akabah, the Elanitic gulf,
      to the foot of the Dead Sea (1 Kings 9:26), and contained, among
      other cities, the rock-hewn Sela (q.v.), generally known by the
      Greek name Petra (2 Kings 14:7). It is a wild and rugged region,
      traversed by fruitful valleys. Its old capital was Bozrah (Isa.
      63:1). The early inhabitants of the land were Horites. They were
      destroyed by the Edomites (Deut. 2:12), between whom and the
      kings of Israel and Judah there was frequent war (2 Kings 8:20;
      2 Chr. 28:17).
     
         At the time of the Exodus they churlishly refused permission
      to the Israelites to pass through their land (Num. 20:14-21),
      and ever afterwards maintained an attitude of hostility toward
      them. They were conquered by David (2 Sam. 8:14; comp. 1 Kings
      9:26), and afterwards by Amaziah (2 Chr. 25:11, 12). But they
      regained again their independence, and in later years, during
      the decline of the Jewish kingdom (2 Kings 16:6; R.V. marg.,
      "Edomites"), made war against Israel. They took part with the
      Chaldeans when Nebuchadnezzar captured Jerusalem, and afterwards
      they invaded and held possession of the south of Palestine as
      far as Hebron. At length, however, Edom fell under the growing
      Chaldean power (Jer. 27:3, 6).
     
         There are many prophecies concerning Edom (Isa. 34:5, 6; Jer.
      49:7-18; Ezek. 25:13; 35:1-15; Joel 3:19; Amos 1:11; Obad.; Mal.
      1:3, 4) which have been remarkably fulfilled. The present
      desolate condition of that land is a standing testimony to the
      inspiration of these prophecies. After an existence as a people
      for above seventeen hundred years, they have utterly
      disappeared, and their language even is forgotten for ever. In
      Petra, "where kings kept their court, and where nobles
      assembled, there no man dwells; it is given by lot to birds, and
      beasts, and reptiles."
     
         The Edomites were Semites, closely related in blood and in
      language to the Israelites. They dispossessed the Horites of
      Mount Seir; though it is clear, from Gen. 36, that they
      afterwards intermarried with the conquered population. Edomite
      tribes settled also in the south of Judah, like the Kenizzites
      (Gen. 36:11), to whom Caleb and Othniel belonged (Josh. 15:17).
      The southern part of Edom was known as Teman.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Etam
      eyrie. (1.) A village of the tribe of Simeon (1 Chr. 4:32). Into
      some cleft ("top," A.V.,; R.V., "cleft") of a rock here Samson
      retired after his slaughter of the Philistines (Judg. 15:8, 11).
      It was a natural stronghold. It has been identified with Beit
      'Atab, west of Bethlehem, near Zorah and Eshtaol. On the crest
      of a rocky knoll, under the village, is a long tunnel, which may
      be the "cleft" in which Samson hid.
     
         (2.) A city of Judah, fortified by Rehoboam (2 Chr. 11:6). It
      was near Bethlehem and Tekoah, and some distance apparently to
      the north of (1). It seems to have been in the district called
      Nephtoah (or Netophah), where were the sources of the water from
      which Solomon's gardens and pleasure-grounds and pools, as well
      as Bethlehem and the temple, were supplied. It is now 'Ain
      'Atan, at the head of the Wady Urtas, a fountain sending forth a
      copious supply of pure water.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Etham
      perhaps another name for Khetam, or "fortress," on the Shur or
      great wall of Egypt, which extended from the Mediterranean to
      the Gulf of Suez. Here the Israelites made their third
      encampment (Ex. 13:20; Num. 33:6). The camp was probably a
      little to the west of the modern town of Ismailia. Here the
      Israelites were commanded to change their route (Ex. 14:2), and
      "turn" towards the south, and encamp before Pi-hahiroth. (See
      {EXODUS}; {PITHOM}.)
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Ethan
      firm. (1.) "The Ezrahite," distinguished for his wisdom (1 Kings
      4:31). He is named as the author of the 89th Psalm. He was of
      the tribe of Levi.
     
         (2.) A Levite of the family of Merari, one of the leaders of
      the temple music (1 Chr. 6:44; 15:17, 19). He was probably the
      same as Jeduthun. He is supposed by some to be the same also as
      (1).
