Seir

Patriarchs (Abraham–Joseph) Edom · H8165B
Old Testament

Seir was a Horite chief and an ancestor of the Horites who inhabited the land of Seir.

Seir the Horite was the ancestral figure from whom the mountainous region of Edom took its name, listed in Genesis 36:20–21 and 1 Chronicles 1:38 as the father of the Horite clans who originally inhabited the land before Esau's descendants dispossessed them (Deuteronomy 2:12, 22). His sons became the chiefs of the Horite clans in the land that would become Edom.
