What does Genesis 36:24 mean?

This part of Genesis records the descendants of Seir the Horite (Genesis 36:20–30). The Horites had lived in this territory since before the time of Abraham (Genesis 14:6). This territory would be conquered and settled by Esau and his descendants (Genesis 36:6–8). While the nation would be called Edom, or the Edomites (Genesis 36:1), the land was still called Seir.

Seir's son Zibeon fathered Aiah and Anah. More than one "Anah" has been mentioned in this chapter (Genesis 36:2, 20). Genesis specifies which this is according to an accomplishment: He found hot springs in the wilderness while caring for his father's donkeys. Finding a new source of water in the wilderness would be a valuable accomplishment, indeed.
