Usage: The name Akan appears in the genealogical records of the Horites, a people who inhabited the region of Seir before the Edomites. Akan is listed as one of the sons of Ezer, a chief among the Horites. Context: Akan is mentioned in the genealogical records found in the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Genesis. He is identified as one of the sons of Ezer, who was a chief among the Horites. The Horites were an ancient people who lived in the region of Seir, which later became associated with the Edomites. The mention of Akan is found in Genesis 36:27, which states: "These are the sons of Ezer: Bilhan, Zaavan, and Akan." This passage is part of a larger genealogical account that traces the descendants of Esau, also known as Edom, and their interrelations with the Horites. The genealogies serve to provide historical context and lineage for the peoples surrounding the Israelites. Akan's inclusion in this list highlights the interconnectedness of the various tribes and families in the ancient Near East.
