What does Genesis 36:23 mean?

The descendants of Seir the Horite are listed in this section (Genesis 36:20–30). The Horites were the original peoples of the territory (Genesis 14:6) which would be conquered and occupied by Esau and his descendants. This nation would be known as Edom (Genesis 36:1), and the Edomites would become enemies of Israel (Numbers 20:14–21; 1 Samuel 14:47; 2 Kings 8:20; Obadiah 1:8–11).

Seir's son Shobal fathered Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho, and Onam.
