The Horites are mentioned in <a href="/genesis/36.htm">Genesis 36</a>, where they are described as the original inhabitants of the land of Seir. This genealogical record in 1 Chronicles serves to establish the historical and familial connections of the Edomites, who were closely related to the Israelites through Esau, Jacob's brother. Understanding these connections is important for comprehending the broader narrative of the Old Testament, where the relationships between Israel and its neighboring nations often play a significant role.<p><b>Hori and Homam:</b><br>Hori and Homam are the sons of Lotan. The name "Hori" is likely related to the Horites, indicating a connection to the people who originally inhabited the region of Seir. The name "Homam" is also found in <a href="/genesis/36-22.htm">Genesis 36:22</a>, where he is called "Hemam," suggesting a possible variation in the transcription of names over time. These names are part of the genealogical records that help trace the lineage and tribal affiliations of the people in the region, which is crucial for understanding the historical context of the biblical narrative.<p><b>Timna was Lotan’s sister:</b><br>Timna is mentioned as Lotan's sister, and she is a significant figure because she became the concubine of Eliphaz, Esau's son, and bore Amalek (<a href="/genesis/36-12.htm">Genesis 36:12</a>). The Amalekites, descendants of Amalek, would later become one of Israel's most persistent enemies. This connection highlights the complex interrelationships between the various tribes and peoples in the biblical narrative. The mention of Timna in this genealogical record underscores the importance of familial ties and their impact on the unfolding history of the Israelites and their neighbors.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/l/lotan.htm">Lotan</a></b><br>A descendant of Seir the Horite, Lotan is mentioned as a chief among the Horites.
