Context: Ajah is a biblical figure mentioned in the genealogies of the descendants of Seir the Horite. He is listed as one of the sons of Zibeon. The name appears in the context of the Edomite chiefs, indicating a position of leadership or prominence within the Horite community. The reference to Ajah is found in Genesis 36:24 and 1 Chronicles 1:40. In Genesis 36:24, the Berean Standard Bible states: "These are the sons of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah. This is the Anah who discovered the hot springs in the wilderness while he was pasturing the donkeys of his father Zibeon." The mention of Ajah in these genealogies highlights the interconnectedness of the Edomite and Horite lineages, providing insight into the ancient Near Eastern tribal structures and familial relationships.
