They did bury their dead in caves, mainly as secondary burial.Alice C.

This would make Zibeon a Hivite who was a cave dweller.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688820610845171516.post-41567565579418030822015-11-03T18:02:38.311-07:002015-11-03T18:02:38.311-07:00The word ‘khry’ or Horite in English is a translit...The word ‘khry’ or Horite in English is a transliteration of the Egyptian word ‘khry’ [GSL (Gardiner’s Sign List) D2-D21-N1-A1 or D2-D21]. Khry means ‘head man’ or ‘master’. The name Sh3yr or Seir in English may be a Semitic dialectical pronunciation of Wsir (GSL Q1-D4-A40) or Osiris in English. So, the Horites may have been descendants of the lesser Egyptian officials who oversaw the mining operations in Edom. They either intermarried with the locals or took the local women as concubines. Their offspring retained the Egyptian title ‘khry’ or master, which, of course lost its meaning after the Egyptians left. The Edomites were the people with whom these descendants of the Egyptian overseers (Khry or Horites in English) interbred. The Biblical character Edom is a personification of the Edomites or the locals who eventually became the Judeans. The sixth king of Edom, Saul Ben Qysh, was the 1st king of Judah. He was from the tribe of Benjamin which means ‘son of the south’ or Edom. Qysh is the the dialectical pronunciation of Qwsh who was the chief deity of Edom.H.

If they were both firstborn sons by different wives, as was the case with Haran and Nahor, Moses and Korah, Isaac and Joktan - there was often competiton over birthrights, etc. This is seen in the conflict between Jacob and Esau. <br /><br />The point is that Esau and Jacob had the same father, but probably not the same mothers. All of Isaac's ruler ancestors had two wives, including Abraham. This begs the question: Did Isaac break the pattern of his forefathers? Is there evidence in the Bible that he had two wives? The answer is yes. See this:<br />http://jandyongenesis.blogspot.com/2009/10/isaacs-three-sons.html<br /><br />Isaac is one of many biblical figures who pattern Jesus for us, though all are imperfect: Abraham; Esau (who forgave the brother who betrayed him), Moses, Elijah, David, etc.Alice C.

The Bible clearly records that they were twins. There is no indication that Isaac even had another wife or concubine besides Rebecca. This fits because Isaac is a type par excellence of Christ.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
