Edrei
(1) One of the cities of Og, not far from Ashtaroth, where the power of his kingdom received its deathblow from the invading Israelites (Joshua 12:4; Numbers 21:33 , etc.). It seems to mark the western limit of Bashan as against Salecah on the East (Deuteronomy 3:10 ). It was given to Machir, son of Manasseh (Joshua 13:31 ). Eusebius, Onomasticon places it 24 Roman miles from Bostra. The most probable identification is with
(2) A place not identified, between Kedesh and En-hazor (Joshua 19:37 ).
