Jeremiah 25:23

Dedan, and Tema, and Buz ,.... These seem to be places in Edom or Idumea, of whose destruction Jeremiah prophesies in Jeremiah 49:7 ; or rather in Arabia and Mesopotamia. Jerom reckons them among the Ishmaelites and Saracens, The persons from whom they descended are mentioned in Genesis 22:21 ;

and all that are in the utmost corners ; that is, either of the above countries, or of the whole earth: or "all that had their hair shorn" F13 כל קצוצי פאה "universis qui attonsi sunt in comam", V. L. "barbitonsis", Syr. ; or the corners of their beards; which Jerom says is applicable to the Saracens.
