What does Genesis 14:6 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Genesis 14:6
And the Horites in their Mount Seir
Or the Horim who dwelt in Mount Seir, so called from Seir the
Horite, who continued here till they were drove out by the sons
of Esau or Edom, from whom their country was afterwards called
Edom or Idumea, see ( Genesis
36:20-30 ) ( Deuteronomy
2:12 Deuteronomy
2:22 ) ; unto Elparan, which [is] by the
wilderness;
so far these Horites inhabited, and the four kings smote all they
met with unto this place, which was either the plain or oak of
Paran, near a wilderness of the same name; the wilderness of
Arabia, through which the Israelites travelled forty years, in
their way to Canaan.
