The Key Word — לוֹטָן, lo.Tangenerated
The name לוֹטָן (Lotan) refers to a specific individual in the genealogies of the Edomites. It is a proper noun, indicating a male figure who is the eldest son of Seir the Horite. The name is derived from a root meaning 'covering,' which may imply protection or shelter.
Lotan's significance is emphasized by his position in the genealogy, as he is identified as the brother of several notable figures, including Shobal and Zibeon. The mention of his family members, Hori and Hemam, along with his sister Timna, illustrates the close-knit nature of these early lineages.

The Horites—the aboriginal inhabitants of the country—“the sons of Seir, the Horite,” were possibly so called from the word ḥ ?or, “a hole”; cf. 1 Samuel 13:6; 1 Samuel 14:11. This derivation has long been maintained, and is possibly correct, the Horites being regarded as troglodytes, or cave-dwellers. In Obadiah 1:3 Edom is apostrophized, “O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock.” On the other hand another derivation has recently commended itself, Hor being identified with the Egyptian Haru which is found in Egyptian inscriptions for “Syria.” But there is good support from the rocks of Petra and the excavations at Gezer for the “cave-dweller” explanation of the word.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text and the Septuagint agree in the essential details of this verse, with all words matched. The Samaritan Pentateuch differs by using the term אימם (Homam) instead of הֵימָם (Hemam), indicating a variation in the name but not in the familial relationship. The Dead Sea Scrolls show partial restoration, with some words supplied by an editor, indicating damage rather than textual variation.
וַיִּהְי֥וּ בְנֵי־ לוֹטָ֖ן חֹרִ֣י וְהֵימָ֑ם וַאֲח֥וֹת לוֹטָ֖ן תִּמְנָֽע׃

ov:
(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.
