Morrish Bible Dictionary
Descendants of Seir, and Aborigines of mount Seir. They were destroyed by the children of Esau. Genesis 14:6; Genesis 36:20,21,29; Deuteronomy 2:12,22 . It is thought that they were cave-dwellers, as the name implies. The sandstone rocks of mount Seir are full of excavated dwellings, and there are traces of the same throughout the region of Edom.
