He is identified as a descendant of Seir the Horite, a people who inhabited the land of Edom before the descendants of Esau. The name "Zaavan" appears in the genealogical records found in the Book of Genesis and the First Book of Chronicles.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/genesis/36-27.htm">Genesis 36:27</a> :</b> "These are the sons of Ezer: Bilhan, Zaavan, and Akan." This verse places Zaavan as one of the sons of Ezer, who was a Horite chief. The Horites were known to dwell in the mountainous region of Seir, which later became associated with the Edomites, the descendants of Esau.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/1_chronicles/1-42.htm">1 Chronicles 1:42</a> :</b> "The sons of Ezer: Bilhan, Zaavan, and Akan." This passage reiterates the genealogy found in Genesis, confirming Zaavan's place in the lineage of Seir the Horite.<br><br><b>Historical and Cultural Context:</b><br><br>Zaavan's mention in the genealogies highlights the interconnectedness of various tribes and peoples in the ancient Near East. The Horites, to whom Zaavan belonged, were a group of people who lived in the region of Seir before the Edomites. The genealogical records serve to establish the historical and familial ties between the Horites and the Edomites, illustrating the complex relationships among the inhabitants of the region.<br><br>The genealogies in which Zaavan is mentioned are part of a broader biblical narrative that traces the origins and movements of different peoples and tribes. These records are significant for understanding the historical context of the biblical patriarchs and the nations that descended from them.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b><br><br>From a theological perspective, the inclusion of Zaavan in the biblical genealogies underscores the comprehensive nature of God's plan and the unfolding of His purposes through various peoples and nations. The genealogies serve as a testament to God's sovereignty over history and His ability to work through diverse lineages to accomplish His divine will.<br><br>Zaavan's place in the biblical record, though brief, is part of the larger tapestry of Scripture that reveals God's faithfulness to His promises and His ongoing relationship with humanity. The genealogies remind believers of the importance of heritage and the continuity of God's covenantal promises throughout generations.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Zaavan</span><p>trembling<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>Terror, one of the "dukes of Edom" (<a href="/genesis/36-27.htm">Genesis 36:27</a>); called also Zavan (<a href="/1_chronicles/1-42.htm">1 Chronicles 1:42</a>). <a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">ZAAVAN</span><p>za'-a-van (za`-awan, meaning unknown): A Horite descendant of Seir (<a href="/genesis/36-27.htm">Genesis 36:27</a> <a href="/1_chronicles/1-42.htm">1 Chronicles 1:42</a>).
