Zibeon, the Hivite grandfather of Esau's wife Oholibamah.
Zibeon was a Hivite elder of the clan of Seir the Horite and is listed among the Horite chiefs who inhabited the region of Seir before the Edomites displaced them (Genesis 36:2, 14, 20, 24, 29; 1 Chronicles 1:38, 40). He was the grandfather of Esau's wife Oholibamah through his son Anah. The text notes that Zibeon's son Anah discovered hot springs (or mules, depending on the translation) in the wilderness while pasturing his father's donkeys.
