These are the children of Anah
This phrase introduces the descendants of Anah, a significant figure in the genealogy of Esau. The name "Anah" in Hebrew is עֲנָה ('Anah), which can mean "answer" or "response." Anah is a Horite, a group of people who lived in the region of Seir before the Edomites. The mention of Anah's children highlights the continuation of his lineage and the integration of his family into the broader narrative of Esau's descendants. This reflects the importance of family and lineage in the biblical context, emphasizing the fulfillment of God's promises through generations.

Dishon
The name "Dishon" in Hebrew is דִּישׁוֹן (Dishon), which means "thresher" or "antelope." Dishon is one of the chiefs of the Horites, indicating a position of leadership and influence. The mention of Dishon underscores the prominence of Anah's descendants within the Horite community. This highlights the theme of leadership and the roles individuals play within their communities, as well as the significance of names in the biblical narrative, often reflecting character or destiny.

Oholibamah daughter of Anah
The name "Oholibamah" in Hebrew is אָהֳלִיבָמָה ('Oholibamah), which means "tent of the high place." Oholibamah is a notable figure as she becomes one of Esau's wives, further intertwining the lineages of Esau and the Horites. Her name suggests a connection to worship or a sacred place, which may indicate her family's status or religious significance. The mention of Oholibamah as the daughter of Anah highlights the matrilineal aspect of her identity, which is less common in biblical genealogies but underscores the importance of her heritage. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God's providence and the unfolding of His plan through diverse and sometimes unexpected lineages.

Verse 25. - And the children of Anah - the brother of Zibeon (ver. 20) - were these; Dishon, - named after his uncle (ver. 21) and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah. This Aholibamah was not Esau's wife, but the cousin of Esau's wife's father.
