📚 Historical Context
The Horites were the original people living in the land of Seir (later called Edom) before Esau and his descendants settled there. Seir was both the name of the mountainous region southeast of the Dead Sea and the name of the Horite chief who lived there. This genealogy shows how the original inhabitants were eventually absorbed into or displaced by Esau's growing nation.
