What does Genesis 36:29 mean?

The Horites originally occupied the region of Seir, named for the patriarch of their people (Genesis 14:6). They were overrun, but not wiped out, by Esau and his descendants (Genesis 36:6–8) when they moved to the area (Deuteronomy 2:12).

This and the following verse (Genesis 36:30) list the tribal leaders of the Horites. This is simply a list of Seir's previously mentioned sons, including Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, and Anah (Genesis 36:20).
