Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Dishan, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew genealogical context and does not have a Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts.

Usage: Dishan is used as a proper name in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to a descendant of Seir the Horite.

Context: • Dishan is mentioned in the genealogical records of the Horites, who were the original inhabitants of the land of Seir before the Edomites. He is listed as one of the sons of Seir the Horite, making him a chief among the Horites. The genealogies in Genesis 36:21 and 1 Chronicles 1:38, 42 provide the primary biblical references to Dishan. These passages highlight the familial and tribal structures of the Horites, emphasizing their significance in the ancestral history of the region.
• In Genesis 36:21 (BSB), it states: "Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan. These are the chiefs of the Horites, the sons of Seir in the land of Edom."
• In 1 Chronicles 1:38 (BSB), it is recorded: "The sons of Seir: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan."
• Dishan's mention in these genealogies underscores the importance of lineage and tribal leadership in the ancient Near Eastern context. The Horites, as descendants of Seir, played a significant role in the history of Edom, and Dishan, as one of their chiefs, would have been a notable figure in their societal hierarchy.
