ZIBEON

zib'-e-on (tsibh`on, "hyena"; HPN, 95; Sebegon): A Horite chief (Genesis 36:2, 14, 20, 24, 29 1 Chronicles 1:38, 40); he is called the "Hivite" in Genesis 36:2 where "Horite" should be read with 36:20, 29. In Genesis 36:2, 14 Anah is said to be "the daughter of Zibeon," whereas the Septuagint, the Samaritan Pentateuch, the Syriac, and Lucian have "the son of Zibeon"; compare 1 Chronicles 1:38, 40, where also Anah is Zibeon's son.
