  2. 1 Kronieken 1:38 Het land heette eerst Seïr, naar hun voorvader. De Horieten woonden daar al in de tijd van Abraham, dus lang voordat Ezau kwam. De namen die hier genoemd worden zijn Horietische stamhoofden. Lees Genesis 36:20 en 21. Later ging Ezau in Seïr wonen. Toen werd het gebied Edom genoemd, naar Ezau die ook Edom genoemd werd. (Lees Genesis 25:30) Van hem stammen de Edomieten af.
  3. 1 Kronieken 1:43 Zo ging het land Seïr heten toen Ezau er met zijn familie was gaan wonen. Deze lijst zijn de stamhoofden die heersten vóórdat Ezau er kwam wonen. Lees ook Genesis 36:31-43.
