Onam Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Onam was a descendant of Seir the Horite, a group that inhabited the land of Edom before Esau's descendants (Gen 36:23; 1Ch 1:40). He is mentioned in the genealogies of the Horites, which are recorded in the context of Esau's family history. The Horites were a people group that lived in the region of Seir, which later became known as Edom. Onam's mention in these genealogies suggests that he was a significant figure among the Horites.
