What Does Genesis 36:25 Mean?
Anah had a son named Dishon, who became a Horite patriarch in his own right (verse 21), and a daughter Aholibamah. This Aholibamah is the same woman who became one of Esau's wives (verse 2), confirming the Horite-Edomite intermarriage. Anah's daughter thus became the mother of Jeush, Jaalam, and Korah, binding the Horite and Edomite genealogies.
The integration of Anah's descendants into Edomite leadership through his daughter's marriage shows how the populations merged. Aholibamah's sons as dukes of Edom (verse 18) demonstrates that children of mixed Edomite-Horite union achieved high status.
