SEIR
“hairy”.
Seir was the mountain range that became the country of Edom (Gen. 36:21; Num. 24:18; Ezek. 35:15).
In Abraham’s time this region was occupied by the Horites (cf. Gen. 14:6, see HORIES).
In Ez. 25:8, Seir designates a nation.
Esau settled on Mount Seir (Gen. 32:3); His descendants plundered the Horites (Deut. 2:12; Josh. 24:4).
Amalekites took refuge in these mountains, but were finally exterminated by the Simeonites (1 Chron. 4:42, 43).
