The sons of Lotan
This phrase introduces us to the descendants of Lotan, a figure within the genealogy of Esau, who is also known as Edom. Lotan is one of the chiefs of the Horites, a group of people who lived in the region of Seir before the Edomites. The mention of Lotan's sons signifies the continuation of his lineage and the importance of family heritage in biblical narratives. In the Hebrew context, genealogies serve not only as historical records but also as a means of establishing identity and divine promise.

were Hori and Hemam
The names Hori and Hemam are significant in understanding the cultural and historical context of the Horites. "Hori" is derived from a root that means "cave dweller," reflecting the lifestyle of the Horites who inhabited the mountainous region of Seir. "Hemam" is less clear in meaning but is part of the genealogical record that ties the Horites to the broader narrative of the Edomites. These names remind us of the diverse peoples and cultures that interacted with the descendants of Abraham, highlighting the complexity of the biblical world.

Timna was Lotan’s sister
The mention of Timna, Lotan's sister, is intriguing and significant. In the broader biblical narrative, Timna becomes a concubine to Eliphaz, Esau's son, and bears Amalek, a notable figure whose descendants become adversaries of Israel. The inclusion of Timna in this genealogy underscores the interconnectedness of various tribes and families in the ancient Near East. It also reflects the patriarchal society where women's roles, though often understated, were crucial in the unfolding of biblical history. Timna's presence in the genealogy serves as a reminder of the often-overlooked contributions of women in the biblical narrative and God's sovereign plan working through all individuals, regardless of their societal status.

(22) Timna.--Not the Timna mentioned in Genesis 36:12; for she is here described as sister of Lotan the brother of Zibeon, who was grandfather of Aholibamah, Esau's wife. But the Timna mentioned there was the concubine of Esau's grandson, and junior by four generations.

Verse 22. - And the children of Lotan were Hori - the name of the tribe (ver. 20) - and Hemam: - or, Homam (1 Chronicles 1:39); "Destruction" (Gesenius), "Commotion" (Furst, Murphy) - and Lotan's sister was Timna - probably the concubine of Eliphaz (ver. 12).
