Bilhan; a personal name borne by a descendant of Esau and a Benjamite clan leader.
A proper name appearing in genealogical lists. The first Bilhan is a Horite descendant of Esau listed among the clan chiefs of Seir in Genesis 36:27 and 1 Chronicles 1:42, placing him within Edom's pre-Israelite population. The second Bilhan is a son of Jediael in the tribe of Benjamin (1 Chr 7:10), a military leader whose family mustered thousands of warriors. The name is consistently transliterated across languages — English, Spanish, French, and German all render it 'Bilhan' — suggesting no competing etymological traditions.

Senses
1. sense 1 — A personal name meaning possibly 'modest' or 'weak,' borne by two distinct individuals. The Horite Bilhan (Gen 36:27; 1 Chr 1:42) appears among Seir's indigenous clans absorbed into Edom. The Benjamite Bilhan (1 Chr 7:10) heads a family that produced 17,200 fighting men. All major translation traditions — Spanish 'Bilhán,' French 'Bilhan,' German 'Bilhan' — simply transliterate the name, confirming it functions as an opaque proper noun with no living semantic content in the target languages. 4×
