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

Usage: Pinon is a name that appears in the genealogical records of the Bible. It is identified as one of the chiefs of Edom, a descendant of Esau. The name itself does not carry a specific meaning in the text, but it is part of the broader narrative of the Edomite lineage.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, genealogies were significant for establishing identity, inheritance rights, and territorial claims. Edom, located to the southeast of Israel, was a nation descended from Esau, Jacob's brother. The chiefs of Edom, including Pinon, were leaders of clans or tribes within this nation. Understanding the genealogies of Edom provides insight into the relationships and tensions between Israel and its neighbors.
