STEPBible TIPNR
Hemdan is mentioned in the genealogies of Esau, the son of Isaac and brother of Israel (or 'Jacob'), in Genesis and 1 Chronicles. He was a descendant of Seir the Horite, the original inhabitants of the land of Seir (Edom) before Esau's descendants settled there (Gen 36:26; 1Ch 1:41). The Horites were a people group that lived in the region of Seir prior to the Edomites. Hemdan is listed among the sons of Dishon, one of the sons of Seir. No further details about Hemdan's life or role are provided in the Bible. (Gen 36:26; 1Ch 1:41).
