'''Horites''' (Egyptian '''Khar''') were cave-dwellers mentioned in the [[Torah]] ([[Genesis]] 14:6, 36:20, [[Deuteronomy]] 2:12) inhabiting areas around [[Petra]]. They have been identified with [[Ancient Egypt|Egyptian]] references to '''Khar''' which concern a southern region of [[Canaan]]. This location and the similarity of the biblical term [[Hori]] to the Egyptian term [[Khar]], formerly translated as [[Harri]], has connected the Biblical '''Horites'''. Their most famous ancestor is called [[Seir]] but no genealogy is given for him. Despite the widespread sphere of [[Hurrian]] influence these might not be synonymous. While in history Hurrians had close relations with so-called [[Hattians]], biblical Horites are closely associated, through Seir's son [[Zibeon]], with the [[Hivites]]. It may be that rather than being a nation, the biblical term Hori may simply refer to a lifestyle common among Hivites which if a meaning is derived from their name makes them a "cave-dwelling" people. They were infiltrated by the [[Edomites]] and subsequently assimilated. |
