Theological / Devotional

The sons of Seir. There is no apparent connection between this series and the one preceding. In Gen. 36:20 Seir is qualified as “the Horite, who inhabited the land.” In Joshua 7:9 the phrase, “the inhabitants of the land,” seems to imply the indigenous inhabitants. The “Horites,” or Hurrians, were the early inhabitants who dwelt in the land before the Semitic invaders (Deut. 2:22; see on Gen. 36:20).
