Strong's Lexicon Chori: Horite Original Word: חֹרִי Word Origin: Derived from חֹר (Hor), 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 region of Seir before the descendants of Esau, the Edomites, took possession of the land. The Horites are often associated with cave dwellings, which is reflected in the etymology of their name. Cultural and Historical Background: The Horites were a people who lived in the mountainous region of Seir, which is located in the area of modern-day southern Jordan. They are considered to be among the early inhabitants of the land before the Edomites. The Horites are mentioned in various ancient texts, and their culture is thought to have been influenced by their geographical setting, which included living in caves and rocky terrains. This lifestyle is indicative of their adaptation to the harsh, mountainous environment.
