zib'-e-on (tsibh`on, "hyena"; HPN, 95; Sebegon): A Horite chief (Gen 36:2; Gen 36:14; Gen 36:20; Gen 36:24; Gen 36:29; 1 Chr 1:38; 1 Chr 1:40); he is called the "Hivite" in Gen 36:2 where "Horite" should be read with 36:20,29. In Gen 36:2; Gen 36:14 Anah is said to be "the daughter of Zibeon," whereas the Septuagint, the Samaritan Pentateuch, the Syriac, and Lucian have "the son of Zibeon"; compare 1 Chr 1:38; 1 Chr 1:40, where also Anah is Zibeon's son.
