I was reading my Bible a couple nights ago, and came across Edrei in Numbers 21:33. I'm not sure how to pronounce it, but i looooooove the spelling! So pretty for a girl. Do you think it's pronounced:

EE-drae
EE-dree
EE-dra

...or something else?

I agree with luvmonkeezz, I'd say EH-dray if it's Hebrew. Like Ephraim has a short e in Hebrew.
Here's a possible reference

I like the sound of EE-dra better though =)
