The Key Word — דִּישׁ֑וֹן, di.Shongenerated
The name דִּישׁ֑וֹן (Dishon) refers to a biblical figure, specifically a son of Anah and a descendant of Seir. The name is associated with the meaning 'thresher' and indicates his role within Edomite genealogy.
Dishon is mentioned in the context of Edomite lineage, emphasizing the importance of family connections in the narrative. The parsing as a proper masculine noun indicates that it is a name, rather than a common term.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse is structured around one main clause: בְּנֵ֥י עֲנָ֖ה (the son of Anah), leading into a noun phrase that identifies Dishon and then another noun phrase that lists the sons of Dishon. The structure emphasizes the lineage by presenting the relationships clearly.
The finite verb is absent in this genealogical listing, which is typical for such accounts in Hebrew prose. The organization of names reflects the importance of family ties and inheritance in the biblical narrative.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates בְּנֵ֥י as υἱοὶ (huioi), meaning 'sons.' This choice aligns with the Hebrew meaning of descendants and highlights the familial aspect of the genealogy.
The Greek translation does not fully match the Hebrew structure but retains the essential names and relationships, reflecting the continuity of the genealogical tradition.

Each of these wrote on 1 Chronicles 1:41 itself, not merely on the chapter around it.
Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(41) The sons of Anah; Dishon.—Genesis 36:25 adds, “and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah.” (Comp. 1 Chronicles 1:52, “the chiliarch of Aholibamah.”) Dishon, like Ammon or Israel, being the collective name of a number of tribes or clans, there is nothing strange in the expression, “The sons of Anah; Dishon.”

Anah
Speech. (1.) One of the sons of Seir, and head of an Idumean tribe, called a Horite, as in course of time all the branches of this tribe were called from their dwelling in caves in Mount Seir (Gen. 36:20, 29; 1 Chr. 1:38).

The father of Aholibamah, one of Esau’s wives. While feeding his father’s asses in the desert, he is said to have found the "mules" Ge 36:24. But the Hebrew word is suppose to mean rather "warm springs;" and such springs are found on the eastern coast of the Dead sea, which was not far from the dwellings of the Seirites, to whom Anah belonged. In this region was a place afterwards celebrated among the Greeks and Romans for its warm springs, and called by them Callirrhoe.

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
