The place
Masrekah was the royal city of Samlah, one of the ancient kings of Edom who reigned before any Israelite king (Genesis 36:31, 36; 1 Chronicles 1:47). The name Masrekah may mean "place of choice vines," but the exact location of the city is unknown. Some scholars have proposed that it might be identified with a town called En-Masrak or Ain Mafrak, located about eight miles south of Petra, but this remains a conjecture without conclusive evidence.
