The Hebrew word used here is "אַלּוּף" (alluph), which can mean a leader or a guide. The Horites were an ancient people who lived in the region of Seir before the Edomites. This phrase sets the stage for understanding the social and political organization of the Horites, emphasizing their established hierarchy and governance. Historically, the Horites are believed to have been cave dwellers, as suggested by their name, which is derived from "Hor," meaning "cave" in Hebrew. This highlights their adaptation to the mountainous terrain of Seir.<p><b>Chief Lotan</b><br />Lotan is listed as one of the leaders of the Horites. The name "Lotan" may be connected to the Hebrew root "לוּט" (lut), meaning "to wrap closely" or "to envelop," which could imply a protective or encompassing leadership style. Lotan's mention here signifies his importance and possibly his influence within the Horite community. In the broader biblical narrative, the listing of such names serves to authenticate the historical and genealogical records, providing a link between the peoples of the Bible and the ancient Near Eastern world.<p><b>Chief Shobal</b><br />Shobal is another leader among the Horites. The name "Shobal" is derived from the Hebrew root "שׁוֹבֵל" (shovel), which can mean "flowing" or "overflowing." This could metaphorically suggest a leader whose influence or prosperity was abundant. Shobal's inclusion in this list underscores the diversity and complexity of the Horite leadership, reflecting a society with multiple influential figures.<p><b>Chief Zibeon</b><br />Zibeon is identified as a chief, and his name is linked to the Hebrew root "צִבְעוֹן" (tsiv'on), which means "dyed" or "colored." This could imply a person of distinction or uniqueness, possibly in character or appearance. Zibeon's role as a chief highlights the varied nature of leadership among the Horites, each with distinct attributes and contributions to their society.<p><b>Chief Anah</b><br />Anah is the final chief mentioned in this verse. The name "Anah" comes from the Hebrew root "עָנָה" (anah), meaning "to answer" or "to respond." This could suggest a leader known for his wisdom or ability to provide guidance and answers to his people. Anah's mention here completes the list of Horite chiefs, illustrating a well-rounded leadership structure within their community.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/genesis/36.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verses 29, 30.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">These are the dukes that came of the Horites; duke Lotan, duke Sho-bal, duke Zibeon, duke Anah, duke Dishon, duke Eser, duke Dishan: these are the dukes that came of Hori, among</span> (rather, according to) <span class="cmt_word">their dukes in the land of Seir.</span> <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/genesis/36-29.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">These</span><br /><span class="heb">אֵ֖לֶּה</span> <span class="translit">(’êl·leh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Pronoun - common plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_428.htm">Strong's 428: </a> </span><span class="str2">These, those</span><br /><br /><span class="word">are the chiefs</span><br /><span class="heb">אַלּוּפֵ֣י</span> <span class="translit">(’al·lū·p̄ê)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine plural construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_441.htm">Strong's 441: </a> </span><span class="str2">Familiar, a friend, gentle, a bullock, a chieftain</span><br /><br /><span class="word">of the Horites:</span><br /><span class="heb">הַחֹרִ֑י</span> <span class="translit">(ha·ḥō·rî)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article | Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2752.htm">Strong's 2752: </a> </span><span class="str2">Horites -- a Chorite, aboriginal Idumaean</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Chiefs</span><br /><span class="heb">אַלּ֤וּף</span> <span class="translit">(’al·lūp̄)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_441.htm">Strong's 441: </a> </span><span class="str2">Familiar, a friend, gentle, a bullock, a chieftain</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Lotan,</span><br /><span class="heb">לוֹטָן֙</span> <span class="translit">(lō·w·ṭān)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3877.htm">Strong's 3877: </a> </span><span class="str2">Lotan -- a son of Seir</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Shobal,</span><br /><span class="heb">שׁוֹבָ֔ל</span> <span class="translit">(šō·w·ḇāl)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7732.htm">Strong's 7732: </a> </span><span class="str2">Shobal -- 'flowing', an Edomite, also two Israelites</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Zibeon,</span><br /><span class="heb">צִבְע֖וֹן</span> <span class="translit">(ṣiḇ·‘ō·wn)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6649.htm">Strong's 6649: </a> </span><span class="str2">Zibeon -- 'hyena', a Horite</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Anah,</span><br /><span class="heb">עֲנָֽה׃</span> <span class="translit">(‘ă·nāh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6034.htm">Strong's 6034: </a> </span><span class="str2">Anah -- two Horites</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/genesis/36-29.htm">Genesis 36:29 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/genesis/36-29.htm">Genesis 36:29 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/genesis/36-29.htm">Genesis 36:29 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/genesis/36-29.htm">Genesis 36:29 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/genesis/36-29.htm">Genesis 36:29 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/genesis/36-29.htm">Genesis 36:29 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/genesis/36-29.htm">Genesis 36:29 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/genesis/36-29.htm">Genesis 36:29 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/genesis/36-29.htm">Genesis 36:29 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/genesis/36-29.htm">Genesis 36:29 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/genesis/36-29.htm">OT Law: Genesis 36:29 These are the chiefs who came (Gen.
