Word Origin: Derived from the root צָבַן (tsavan), which is not used in the Hebrew Bible but is related to the concept of "dyeing" or "coloring."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Zibeon in the Septuagint or the New Testament, as it is a proper name specific to the Hebrew genealogies.

Usage: The name Tsibon, or Zibeon, is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a Horite chief in the land of Seir. Zibeon is noted as the father of Anah and the grandfather of Aholibamah, one of Esau's wives. The name may imply a connection to the idea of "dyed" or "colored," possibly indicating a cultural or occupational significance.

Cultural and Historical Background: Zibeon is mentioned in the genealogies of the Horites, a group of people who inhabited the region of Seir before the Edomites. The Horites were known for their integration into the Edomite lineage through intermarriage, as seen in the marriage of Esau to Aholibamah. The genealogies in Genesis highlight the complex relationships and interactions between different tribes and peoples in the ancient Near East.
