BOZRAH

Ge 36:33, a city of Edom, Isa 34:6 63:1, and the region around it, Jer 49:13,22. It is associated with Terman, and with the Red sea, Jer 49:20-22 Am 1:12. Its site is found in the modern El-Busaireh, midway between Kir Moab and Mount Hor, south by east of the Dead sea. This is a village of about fifty houses, on a hill crowned by a small castle. The ruins are those of a considerable city. Bozrah of Moab, Jer 48:24, may be the same place with this, or perhaps with Bezer.
