I don't know if the Edomites worshipped Yahweh. According to research, the nature of the Edomite religion is largely unknown prior to its conversion to Judaism by the Hasmoneans. Epigraphic evidence suggests that Qaus was the national god of Edom, as Qaus is invoked in the blessing formula in letters and appears in personal names found in ancient Edom. They are close relatives of other Levantine Semites and may have worshiped gods such  as El, Baal, Qaus, and Asherah.
