Senses in use

  1. Proper name in Seir genealogies and chief lists · dominant

    The form is tagged as a proper noun in every occurrence. In 1 Chronicles 1:38 the APB renders it within the list of Seir's sons; in Genesis 36:26 and Genesis 36:28 it introduces lists of sons, while Genesis 36:30 places it among the chiefs in the land of Seir.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name as “Dishan” throughout: within lists of Seir's sons, as the father of named sons, and among chiefs. These renderings confirm the verse-level identification rather than isolate every contribution of the Hebrew form.
