About Lotan Written by AI
Lotan was a son of Seir the Horite and a chief of the land of Edom (Genesis 36:20; 1 Chronicles 1:38). He had a sister named Timna (Genesis 36:22; 1 Chronicles 1:39). Lotan is listed among the descendants of Esau who settled in the region of Seir (Genesis 36:20 to 30; 1 Chronicles 1:38 to 42). The Horites were the original inhabitants of Seir before Esau's descendants displaced them (Deut 2.12). As a chief of Edom, Lotan likely held a position of authority and influence among his people.
