Herod was born around 72 BCE[13][14] in Idumea, south of Judea. He was the second son of Antipater the Idumaean, a high-ranking official under ethnarch Hyrcanus II, and Cypros, a Nabatean Arab princess from Petra, in present-day Jordan. Herod's father was by descent an Edomite; his ancestors had converted to Judaism. Herod was raised as a Jew.[15][16][17][18]Strabo, a contemporary of Herod, held that the Idumaeans, whom he identified as of Nabataean origin, constituted the majority of the population of western Judea, where they commingled with the Judaeans and adopted their customs.[19] This is a view shared also by some modern scholarly works which consider Idumaeans as of Arab or Nabataean origins.[20][21][22][23] Thus Herod's ethnic background was Arab on both sides of his family.[15] According to Josephus, Herod was a descendant of Eleazar Maccabeus (Auran) of the Hasmoneans.[24]
