Lotan Summary STEPBible TIPNR

Lotan, a son of Seir the Horite and a chief of Edom.

Lotan Article STEPBible TIPNR

Lotan was a son of Seir the Horite and a chief of the land of Edom (Gen.36.20,29; 1Ch 1:38). He had a sister named Timna (Gen 36:22; 1Ch 1:39). Lotan is listed among the descendants of Esau who settled in the region of Seir (Gen 36:20-30; 1Ch 1:38-42). The Horites were the original inhabitants of Seir before Esau's descendants displaced them (Deut 2.12). As a chief of Edom, Lotan likely held a position of authority and influence among his people.
