The mention of Anah's children highlights the continuation of Esau's lineage, which is important for understanding the development of the Edomite nation. Anah is also noted for discovering hot springs in the wilderness, which is a detail that connects him to the land and its resources. This genealogy underscores the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham that he would be the father of many nations, as Esau's descendants become the Edomites.<p><b>Dishon:</b><br>Dishon is one of the sons of Anah and is part of the Horite clan. The Horites were a group of people who lived in the region of Seir before the Edomites. This connection to the Horites indicates a blending of cultures and peoples in the region, which is a common theme in the Old Testament. Dishon's name, meaning "thresher," may symbolize strength or productivity, traits valued in ancient cultures. The mention of Dishon in the genealogy emphasizes the integration and influence of different tribes in the development of the Edomite nation.<p><b>and Oholibamah daughter of Anah:</b><br>Oholibamah is a notable figure as she is one of Esau's wives, and her inclusion in the genealogy highlights the intermarriage between Esau's descendants and the Horites. Her name, meaning "tent of the high place," suggests a connection to worship or religious practices, which may reflect the syncretism present in the region. Oholibamah's role as a matriarch in Esau's line is significant, as it demonstrates the importance of women in the transmission of heritage and the establishment of family lines. Her presence in the genealogy also serves to illustrate the fulfillment of God's promise to make Esau a great nation, despite his separation from the covenant line of Jacob.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/anah.htm">Anah</a></b><br>A descendant of Seir the Horite, Anah is noted in the genealogies of Esau's descendants.
