Chamran (or Hamran), an Edomite
Chamran appears in 1 Chronicles 1:41 as a descendant of Seir the Horite in Edom's genealogy. He is the same person as Hemdan in the parallel list in Genesis 36:26, showing typical name variation between sources. The Chronicler's genealogical material often preserves alternative spellings or vocalizations of names found in earlier texts. Both forms represent legitimate renderings of the same ancestral figure in Edom's ethnic history.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A personal name in the Edomite genealogies, equivalent to Hemdan in Genesis. The consonantal difference (Hamran vs Hemdan) reflects manuscript variation or dialectal pronunciation. 1 Chronicles 1:41 includes him in the Chronicler's comprehensive genealogical framework, documenting non-Israelite lineages relevant to biblical history. The Septuagint variations show how ancient translators handled these alternative name forms. 1×
