The Descendants of Seir

20–21The original inhabitants of the land of Edom were divided into tribes which traced their ancestry to the following descendants of Seir, a Horite: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan.

22Lotan was the ancestor of the clans of Hori and Heman. (Lotan had a sister named Timna.)

23Shobal was the ancestor of the clans of Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho, and Onam.

24Zibeon had two sons, Aiah and Anah. (This is the Anah who found the hot springs in the wilderness when he was taking care of his father’s donkeys.) 25–26Anah was the father of Dishon, who was the ancestor of the clans of Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran, and Cheran. Anah also had a daughter named Oholibamah.

27Ezer was the ancestor of the clans of Bilhan, Zaavan, and Akan.

28Dishan was the ancestor of the clans of Uz and Aran.
