Pinon is mentioned in the genealogies of Esau in Gen 36:41 and 1Ch 1:52 as one of the chiefs of Edom. He is listed among the descendants of Esau, who was the son of Isaac and the twin brother of Israel (or 'Jacob'). The Edomites, descended from Esau, settled in the region south of the Dead Sea, which became known as the land of Edom. Pinon's mention in these genealogies suggests that he was a significant leader or clan head among the Edomites. However, no further details are provided about his life, achievements, or the specific clan he led.
