Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Etser, as it is a specific proper noun unique to the Hebrew genealogical records.

Usage: The name Etser appears in genealogical contexts within the Old Testament, specifically in the lineage of the Edomites.

Context: Etser is mentioned in the genealogical records of the descendants of Esau, the brother of Jacob. He is identified as one of the sons of Dishan, who was a descendant of Seir the Horite. The Horites were the original inhabitants of the land of Seir, which later became known as Edom. Etser's mention is found in the context of the tribal chiefs of the Horites, indicating his role as a leader or chieftain within his community. This genealogical listing underscores the historical and familial connections between the Edomites and the Horites, as well as the broader narrative of the descendants of Esau. The reference to Etser can be found in 1 Chronicles 1:41: "The sons of Anah: Dishon. The sons of Dishon: Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran, and Cheran." (BSB)
