Contextual Overview

⁸ This is what the Lord has said: Because Moab and Seir are saying, See, the people of Judah are like all the nations; ⁹ For this cause, I will let the side of Moab be uncovered, and his towns on every side, the glory of the land, Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon and as far as Kiriathaim. ¹⁰ To the children of the east I have given her for a heritage, as well as the children of Ammon, so that there may be no memory of her among the nations: ¹¹ And I will be the judge of Moab; and they will see that I am the Lord. ¹² This is what the Lord has said: Because Edom has taken his payment from the people of Judah, and has done great wrong in taking payment from them; ¹³ The Lord has said, My hand will be stretched out against Edom, cutting off from it man and beast: and I will make it waste, from Teman even as far as Dedan they will be put to the sword. ¹⁴ I will take payment from Edom because of my people Israel; and I will take Edom in hand in my wrath and in my passion: and they will have experience of my reward, says the Lord. ¹⁵ This is what the Lord has said: Because the Philistines have taken payment, with the purpose of causing shame and destruction with unending hate; ¹⁶ The Lord has said, See, my hand will be stretched out against the Philistines, cutting off the Cherethites and sending destruction on the rest of the sea-land. ¹⁷ And I will take great payment from them with acts of wrath; and they will be certain that I am the Lord when I send my punishment on them.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Therefore thus saith the Lord God,.... Because of such base and barbarous usage, from a people that were originally brethren:

I will also stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; by the army of Nebuchadnezzar, by the sword of the Chaldeans, and by famine and pestilence, and such like sore judgments; in which the hand of God is manifestly seen:

and I will make it desolate from Teman; a very principal city of Edom, so called from Teman, the son of Eliphaz, the son of Esau, Genesis 36:15 it lay in the south of the land of Idumea; the Targum renders it, "from the south":

and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword; of the Babylonians; this was another city of Edom, it lay in the north of that country; so that hereby is signified that destruction should go through it from the southern to the northern parts of it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

From Teman ... - Or “from Teman” even unto “Dedan,” “shall they fall.” Teman and Dedan were districts (not cities), the former in the south (Ezekiel 20:46 note), the latter in the north (“over the whole country”).

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 25:13. I will make it desolate from Teman — Teman and Dedan were both cities of the Moabites, and apparently at each extremity of the land.
