Interesting Facts

Genealogy

  • Bilhan is listed as one of the children of Ezer.
  • Ezer is identified as one of the children of Seir the Horite.

Historical Context

The sources place the birth and subsequent generations of Seir the Horite’s descendants within the timeline following Abraham. Abraham died in the year 2124 A.M. according to one interpretation based on Jasher and Jubilees. The specific years of birth for Bilhan and the other descendants of Seir are not provided, but they occur after this point. The narrative includes events such as a famine in the land, Isaac’s sojourn in Gerar, and the marriages of Esau, providing a general timeframe for this genealogy. Notably, one of Anah’s experiences involves encountering unusual hybrid creatures, suggesting a world with elements beyond typical human interaction. However, the impact of these events directly on Bilhan cannot be ascertained from the given texts.

Narrative

Bilhan’s personal narrative, as distinct from his genealogical listing, is not present within these excerpts. He is solely mentioned as one of the offspring of Ezer, who himself is identified as a son of Seir the Horite. The sources do not provide any accounts of Bilhan’s actions, interactions, or individual experiences. His existence is acknowledged within the broader family structure of the Horites in the land of Seir.
