Context: • Tsiphjon is mentioned in the genealogical lists of the descendants of Seir the Horite. Specifically, Tsiphjon is listed as one of the sons of Seir, who was a Horite chief in the land of Edom. The name appears in the context of the tribal and familial structures that were significant in the ancient Near Eastern cultures, particularly among the Edomites, who were descendants of Esau.
