Horims, [Ho'rims] Horites. [Ho'rites]


Descendants of Seir, and Aborigines of mount Seir. They were destroyed by the children of Esau. Gen. 14: 6; Gen. 36: 20, 21, 29; Deut. 2: 12, 22. It is thought that they were cave-dwellers, as the name implies. The sandstone rocks of mount Seir are full of excavated dwellings, and there are traces of the same throughout the region of Edom.
