They are described as the original inhabitants of the region of Seir before the descendants of Esau, the Edomites, took possession of the land. The Horites are often associated with cave dwellings, which is reflected in the etymology of their name.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The Horites were a people who lived in the mountainous region of Seir, which is located in the area of modern-day southern Jordan. They are considered to be among the early inhabitants of the land before the Edomites. The Horites are mentioned in various ancient texts, and their culture is thought to have been influenced by their geographical setting, which included living in caves and rocky terrains. This lifestyle is indicative of their adaptation to the harsh, mountainous environment.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/2356.htm">chor</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>inhab. of Edom, also the name of an Edomite, also the name of a Simeonite<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Hori (3), Horite (1), Horites (6).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> II. <font class="hebrew2">חֹרִי</font>, <font class="hebrew2">חוֺרִי</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a people</b></font> see below III. <font class="hebrew2">חרר</font>. <p><font class="hebrew2">חֲרֵי יוֺנים</font>, <font class="hebrew2">חֲרֵיהֶם</font> see [ <font class="hebrew2">חרא</font>, <font class="hebrew2">חרי</font>]. <p> II. <font class="hebrew2">חֹרִי</font>, <font class="hebrew2">חוֺרִי</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>adjective</b></font>, usually <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a people</b></font> or <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>person</b></font> (probably = <em>cave-dweller</em>, so Thes Rob Ges MV VB; see also W Max Müll<sup>Asien u.
