Berean Strong's Lexicon chori: Horite Original Word: חֹרִי Word Origin: Derived from חֹר (chor), meaning "cave" or "hole." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "chori" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific ethnic designation in the Hebrew Bible. Usage: The term "chori" refers to the Horites, a group of people mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. They are described as the original inhabitants of the land of Seir before the Edomites displaced them. The Horites are often associated with cave dwellings, which is reflected in the etymology of the word. Cultural and Historical Background: The Horites were an ancient people who lived in the region of Seir, which is located in the mountainous area of what is now southern Jordan. They are considered to be among the early inhabitants of the land before the Edomites, descendants of Esau, took over. The Horites are thought to have been a part of the broader Hurrian culture, which was widespread in the ancient Near East. Their lifestyle, as suggested by their name, likely involved living in caves or rocky dwellings, which was common in the mountainous terrain of Seir.
