This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
We read of a Dedan the issue of Ham, Gen_10:7. The other the posterity of Abraham by Jokshan, Gen_25:3. It seemeth to be a city of Idumea, Jer_49:8. Tema descended from Ishmael, Gen_25:15; his posterity inhabited in Arabia, Isa_21:14, where they are joined with those of Dedan. Buz was one of the posterity of Nahor, Gen_22:21. These were people mixed with the Saracens or Arabians.
All that are in the utmost corners; that dwell in the corners or furthest parts of the world. Some interpret it of the fashion of their cutting their beards, as the Saracens did: see Lev_19:27, where God forbade his people that fashion.
