Comparison of <span class='bible'>Gen. 36:20<\/span> shows that Seir represents the indigenous inhabitants of Edom (the inhabitants of the land, comp. <span class='bible'>Jos. 7:9<\/span>) before its conquest by the sons of Esau. In time a fusion of the two races would result, the tribes of each being governed by their own chieftains, as is indicated by <span class='bible'>Gen. 36:20-21<\/span>, where the seven sons of Seir (<span class='bible'>1Ch. 1:38<\/span>) are called chiliarchs of the Horites, the sons of Seir in the land of Edom. <span class='bible'>Deu. 2:22<\/span> implies not the actual extermination of the Horites (Troglodytes or Cave-dwellers) by their Semitic invaders, the sons of Esau, but only their entire subjugation. The differences of spelling noticed in the margin are unimportant as regards the names Zephi (<span class='bible'>1Ch. 1:36<\/span>), Homam (<span class='bible'>1Ch. 1:39<\/span>), and Alian and Shephi (<span class='bible'>1Ch. 1:40<\/span>); the note on Ebal-Obal (<span class='bible'>1Ch. 1:22<\/span>) explains them. The written <em>w<\/em> and <em>y<\/em> in Hebrew are so similar as to be perpetually confounded with each other by careless copyists. The same fact accounts for the missing conjunction <em>and<\/em> in <span class='bible'>1Ch. 1:42<\/span>, which is expressed in Hebrew by simply prefixing the letter <em>w<\/em> to a word. The <em>w<\/em> in this case having been misread, and transcribed as <em>y,<\/em> the name Jakan (Yaqan) resulted. The Aqan (not Achan) of <span class='bible'>Gen. 36:2<\/span> is correct. (So some MSS., the LXX., and Arabic.) Amram, in <span class='bible'>1Ch. 1:41<\/span>, is a mistake of the Authorised version. The Hebrew has Hamran, which differs only by one consonant from the Hemdan of <span class='bible'>Gen. 36:26<\/span>; a difference due to the common confusion of the Hebrew letters <em>d<\/em> and r, already exemplified in <span class='bible'>1Ch. 1:6-7<\/span> (RiphathDiphath, DodanimRodanim). Many MSS. and the Arabic read <em>Hemdan<\/em> here.<\/p>\n<h4 align='right'><i><b>Fuente: Ellicott&#8217;s Commentary for English Readers (Old and New Testaments)<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n<p>sons of Seir.
