Berean Strong's Lexicon chori: Horite Original Word: חֹרִי Word Origin: Derived from the root חוּר (chur), which can mean "white" or "noble." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "chori" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific ethnic designation in the Hebrew Bible. Usage: The term "chori" refers to the Horites, a group of people mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. They are described as the original inhabitants of the region of Seir before the Edomites displaced them. The Horites are often associated with cave dwellers, as the name may imply a connection to living in mountainous or cave-filled regions. Cultural and Historical Background: The Horites are considered one of the ancient peoples of the Near East. They are mentioned in the context of the patriarchal narratives, particularly in relation to Esau, who is said to have intermarried with them. The Horites' presence in the land of Seir is significant in understanding the historical and geographical context of the Edomites, who later occupied the region. The Horites are often linked to the broader Hurrian culture, which was influential in the ancient Near East.
