The sons of Anah
This phrase introduces us to the lineage of Anah, a figure mentioned in the genealogies of the Edomites. Anah is a name that appears in various contexts within the Old Testament, often associated with the Horites, a group of people who lived in the region of Seir before the Edomites. The name Anah in Hebrew (עֲנָה) can mean "answer" or "response," which may reflect a cultural or familial significance in the naming conventions of the time. Understanding Anah's place in the genealogy helps us appreciate the interconnectedness of the tribes and families in the ancient Near East, highlighting the importance of lineage and heritage in biblical narratives.

Dishon
Dishon is one of the sons of Anah, and his name appears in the genealogical records of the Horites. The name Dishon (דִּישׁוֹן) in Hebrew can be translated as "antelope" or "gazelle," which might suggest attributes of swiftness or grace. In the context of biblical genealogies, names often carry symbolic meanings or reflect characteristics valued by the family or tribe. Dishon's inclusion in the genealogy underscores the continuity of the Horite lineage and their integration into the broader narrative of the Edomites.

The sons of Dishon
This phrase transitions from Dishon to his descendants, emphasizing the continuation of his line. In ancient cultures, the recording of sons and descendants was crucial for maintaining family heritage and property rights. It also served to establish social and political connections within and between tribes. The mention of Dishon's sons highlights the importance of progeny in fulfilling God's promises to multiply and bless the nations, as seen throughout the biblical narrative.

Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran, and Cheran
These names represent the sons of Dishon, each contributing to the genealogical record of the Horites. The name Hemdan (חֶמְדָּן) may derive from a root meaning "pleasant" or "desirable," suggesting a positive attribute or hope for the individual. Eshban (אֶשְׁבָּן) is less clear in meaning but is preserved as part of the historical record. Ithran (יִתְרָן) could be related to a root meaning "abundance" or "excellence," indicating a wish for prosperity or distinction. Cheran (כֵּרָן) might be linked to a root meaning "horn," symbolizing strength or power. Each name, while specific to the individual, collectively contributes to the tapestry of biblical history, illustrating the diverse and rich heritage of the peoples mentioned in Scripture.

(41) The sons of Anah; Dishon.--Genesis 36:25 adds, "and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah." (Comp. 1Chronicles 1:52, "the chiliarch of Aholibamah.") Dishon, like Ammon or Israel, being the collective name of a number of tribes or clans, there is nothing strange in the expression, "The sons of Anah; Dishon."
