who is the father of seir in the bible
Horites The ancestry of Seir the Horite is not specified. Pre-Edomite Horite chiefs, descendants of Seir, are listed in the Book of Genesis (Genesis 36:20-29) and 1 Chronicles (1 Chronicles 1:38-42). One of these chiefs, Zibeon, is also described as a Hivite. Esau's wife Oholibamah was his granddaughter (Oholibamah bat Anah ben Zibeon ben Seir; see Genesis 36:2,24,25). Their three sons all became 'chiefs,' although unlike other sons of Esau, they are not called chiefs "in Edom" (compare Genesis 36:16-18). This may indicate a transition time in which only certain Horite areas were becoming known as Edom.
