About Zibeon
Ancestor of Oholibamah, the Canaanite wife of Esau (Gn 36:2, 14). He is listed as a Hivite in Genesis 36:2 but is probably the same as Zibeon the son of Seir the Horite (Gn 36:20, 29; 1 Chr 1:38). Possibly “Hivite” designated his tribal affiliation, while “Horite” indicated the fact that he dwelt in caves. It is also possible that “Hivite” is a transmission error in Genesis 36:2.
