Jump to Previous Achan Akan Bilhan Children Ezer Zaavan Za'avanJump to Next Achan Akan Bilhan Children Ezer Zaavan Za'avanGenesis 36 1. Esau's three wives.6. His removal to mount Seir. 9. His sons. 15. The dukes which descended of his sons. 20. The sons and dukes of Seir the Horite. 24. Anah finds mules. 31. The kings of Edom. 40. The dukes that descended of Esau. These are the sons of Ezer: Ezer is listed as one of the chiefs of the Horites in the land of Seir, which is associated with the descendants of Esau. The Horites were a group of people who lived in the region before the Edomites, and Ezer's inclusion here indicates a blending or coexistence of these groups. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God's sovereignty over nations and peoples, as seen in Deuteronomy 32:8, where God is described as setting boundaries for the peoples. Bilhan: Zaavan: and Akan: Persons / Places / Events 1. EzerEzer is one of the sons of Seir the Horite, a chief in the land of Edom. The Horites were the original inhabitants of the region before the descendants of Esau took over. 2. Bilhan Bilhan is listed as one of the sons of Ezer. His name means "modest" or "timid" in Hebrew, though little else is known about him. 3. Zaavan Another son of Ezer, Zaavan's name means "troubled" or "disquieted." His mention here is primarily genealogical. 4. Akan The third son of Ezer, Akan's name means "sharp-sighted" or "perceptive." Like his brothers, he is part of the genealogical record of the Horites. 5. Edom The region where these individuals lived, Edom is significant in biblical history as the land settled by Esau and his descendants. Teaching Points The Importance of GenealogyGenealogies in the Bible serve to connect historical events and people, showing the fulfillment of God's promises through generations. They remind us of God's faithfulness and the continuity of His plan. Understanding Our Spiritual Heritage Just as the Israelites valued their genealogical records, Christians are encouraged to understand their spiritual heritage, tracing the faith journey from biblical times to the present. God's Sovereignty in History The inclusion of the Horites and their descendants in the biblical account demonstrates God's sovereignty over all nations and peoples, orchestrating history according to His divine plan. The Role of Lesser-Known Figures Figures like Bilhan, Zaavan, and Akan, though not prominent, are part of God's account. This teaches us that every person has a role in God's kingdom, even if it seems small or insignificant. Cultural Integration and God's Plan The integration of the Horites into the Edomite lineage shows how God can use cultural and ethnic diversity to fulfill His purposes, encouraging us to embrace diversity within the body of Christ.Verse 27. - The children of Ezer are these; Bilhan, - "Modest" (Gesenius), "Tender" (Furst) - and Zaavan, - "Disturbed "(Gesenius) - and Akan - Jakan (1 Chronicles 1:42); "Twisting" (Gesenius, Murphy).
