Bozrah
   enclosure; fortress. (1.) The city of Jobab, one of the early
   Edomite kings (Gen. 36:33). This place is mentioned by the
   prophets in later times (Isa. 34:6; Jer. 49:13; Amos 1:12; Micah
   2:12). Its modern representative is el-Busseireh. It lies in the
   mountain district of Petra, 20 miles to the south-east of the
   Dead Sea.
   
     (2.) A Moabite city in the "plain country" (Jer. 48:24), i.e.,
   on the high level down on the east of the Dead Sea. It is
   probably the modern Buzrah.
