Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the proper noun "Dishon" as it is a specific name found in the Hebrew genealogies.

Usage: The term "Dishon" refers to a specific individual mentioned in the genealogies of the Bible. It is used as a proper noun, identifying a descendant of Seir the Horite. The name itself may carry the connotation of "antelope" or "thresher," reflecting either a characteristic of the individual or a symbolic meaning.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, genealogies were crucial for establishing identity, inheritance rights, and tribal affiliations. The Horites, to whom Dishon belonged, were a group of people who lived in the region of Seir before the Edomites. Understanding the genealogical records helps in tracing the movements and relationships of various tribes and peoples in biblical history.
