The sons of Lotan
This phrase introduces us to the descendants of Lotan, a figure within the genealogies of the Edomites. Lotan is a son of Seir the Horite, and his lineage is significant in understanding the broader narrative of the Edomites, who are descendants of Esau, Jacob's brother. The genealogies in 1 Chronicles serve to connect the Israelites with their neighboring nations, emphasizing the interconnectedness of these ancient peoples. The mention of Lotan's sons highlights the importance of family lineage in the biblical narrative, reflecting the cultural and historical emphasis on ancestry and heritage.

Hori
The name "Hori" is derived from the Hebrew root "חֹרִי" (Chori), which is associated with the Horites, a group of people who lived in the region of Seir before the Edomites. The Horites are often mentioned in the context of the land of Edom, and their presence in the genealogies underscores the complex relationships between different tribes and peoples in the ancient Near East. The inclusion of Hori in this genealogy serves as a reminder of the diverse ethnic and cultural landscape that shaped the history of the Israelites and their neighbors.

and Homam
Homam, also known as Hemam in some translations, is another son of Lotan. The name "Homam" is linked to the Hebrew root "הוֹמָם" (Homam), which can mean "destruction" or "confusion." This name might reflect the turbulent and often contentious history of the region, where various tribes and peoples vied for control and dominance. The mention of Homam alongside Hori suggests a continuation of the Horite lineage, further emphasizing the interconnectedness of the genealogies in 1 Chronicles.

Timna was Lotan’s sister
The inclusion of Timna, Lotan's sister, in this genealogy is noteworthy. In the ancient Near Eastern context, women were often not mentioned in genealogical records unless they played a significant role. Timna's mention here may indicate her importance in the narrative, possibly as a matriarchal figure or as someone who had a notable impact on the lineage. In Genesis 36:12, Timna is mentioned as a concubine of Eliphaz, Esau's son, and the mother of Amalek, a significant figure in the history of Israel's enemies. This connection highlights the intricate web of relationships and the recurring theme of familial ties that influence the unfolding biblical story.

(39) And Timna was Lotan's sister.--This appears to mean that the tribe settled in the town of Timna was akin to the sons of Lotan, but not a subdivision of that tribe. Towns are feminine in Hebrew, and are sometimes called mothers (2Samuel 20:19), sometimes daughters.
