Names and Titles

Variation: Seir.
Seir the Horrite (Gen 36) was the son of Hivites +6.
Seir the Horite is being called a desendant of the Hivites as one of his sons is Zibeon the Hivite. I find no source of where the Horite came from, but are mentioned in Gen 14:6 as in the hill country of Seir.
The names Anah and Dishon are duplicated in Genesis 36, and 1 Chronicals 1, being listed as both "sons" of Seir in Genesis 36:20-21, and for Anah as the son of Zibeon in verse 24, and for Dishon as the son of Anah in verse 25. From verse 2 Oholibamah who was also listed in vers 24, puts that Anah as the son of Zibeon, I am presuming that the references in Genesis 36:20-21, and 1 Chronicles 1:38 are using the more generic meaning of "son" to be descendant and these are not disticnt people by the same names.2
