James Hastings Dictionary of the Bible: Dishon


Subjects in this Topic:

DISHON.—1. A son of Seir (Gen_36:21 = 1Ch_1:38). 2. A son of Anah and grandson of Seir (Gen_36:25, cf. Gen_36:30 = 1Ch_1:41; Dishon should also be read for MT [Note: Massoretic Text.] Dishan in Gen_36:26). Dishan and Dishon are, of course, not individual names, but the eponyms of Horite clans. Their exact location is a matter of uncertainty.
