SRC_BARTLETT_EDOM John R. Bartlett, Edom and the Edomites (JSOT Supplement Series 77; Sheffield Academic Press, Sheffield, 1989)   secondary scholarship The standard scholarly monograph on Edomite history and religion. Chapter 6 covers the Edomite deity Qos (Qaus): the name does not appear in the canonical Hebrew Bible as a divine name, but is attested as a theophoric element in Edomite personal names recovered from inscriptions at Umm el-Biyara, Buseirah (biblical Bozrah), Horvat Qitmit, and En Hazeva (7th–5th c. BCE). Bartlett surveys the onomastic evidence and concludes Qos was the national deity of Edom, a thunderstorm deity comparable in function to Kemosh for Moab and Milkom for Ammon. Also covers Edomite culture, the Edom–Israel relationship in biblical texts, and the archaeology of the Edomite heartland. Standard citation for all Qos claims.
