Word Origin: Derived from the root דּוּשׁ (dush), meaning "to tread" or "thresh."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper noun Dishon, as it is specific to the Hebrew genealogical context.

Usage: Dishon is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a person. Specifically, Dishon is one of the sons of Seir the Horite, mentioned in the genealogies of the Edomites. The name may imply a connection to agricultural activities, such as threshing, which is consistent with the root meaning of the word.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, genealogies were significant for establishing tribal and familial identities. The Horites, to whom Dishon belonged, were a group of people who lived in the region of Seir before the Edomites. The genealogies in which Dishon appears highlight the interconnectedness of various tribes and peoples in the region, reflecting the complex social and political landscape of the time.
