The language of ivrit ( עברית ) Genesis 36, Post #4 Welcome to my Hebrew reading & language series. Genesis 36:20-30 *source* https://tse2.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP._L8Er-LCrO-tTAMD-n694wHaE8

This seems to be the last post dedicated only to the names of the children of Esau (Edom). I chose a wilderness hot spring for this post because there is a person named Anah, who found the hot springs in the wilderness near where he pastured his father's donkeys. It is just a small part of the story and a welcome bit of normal dialogue in a sea of names. This passage also breaks from the description of the *children* of the sons, etc. to the *chiefs* of the Horites (Horee in Hebrew) who lived in the land of Seir. I am hoping for more interesting story lines as we get past t his one, still it is all good for practice. Today's reading *English* These are the sons of Seir the Horite, the inhabitants of the land: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan; these are the chiefs of the Horites, the sons of Seir in the land of Edom. The sons of Lotan were Hori and Hemam; and Lotan's sister was Timna. These are the sons of Shobal: Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho, and Onam. These are the sons of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah; he is the ***Anah who found the hot springs in the wilderness, as he pastured the donkeys of Zibeon his father***. These are the children of Anah: Dishon and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah. These are the sons of Dishon: Hem- dan, Eshban, Ithran, and Cheran. These are the sons of Ezer: Bilhan, Zaavan, and Akan. These are the sons of Dishan: Uz and Aran. These are the chiefs of the Horites: the chiefs Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan; these are the chiefs of the Horites, chief by chief in the land of Seir. *Hebrew*
