Dishan, a Horite clan chief descended from Seir
A proper name borne by a son of Seir the Horite, listed among the clan chiefs of Edom. Dishan appears in the genealogical registers of Genesis 36 and 1 Chronicles 1, where his descendants are enumerated alongside other Horite families. The name is sometimes confused in the text with the closely related Dishon (H1787), leading to variant readings across the versions.
