Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Alvan, Strong's Greek Number G1563 (ἐκεῖ • ekei) is often used in genealogical contexts to denote location or place, which can be relevant when discussing the geographical and familial settings of biblical genealogies. However, it is important to note that G1563 does not correspond directly to the name Alvan but is included here for its contextual relevance in genealogical passages. Usage: The name Alvan appears in the genealogical records of the Bible, specifically in the context of the descendants of Seir the Horite. Context: Alvan is mentioned in the genealogical listings found in the Old Testament. He is identified as one of the sons of Shobal, who was a descendant of Seir the Horite. The Horites were a group of people who inhabited the region of Seir before the Edomites. Alvan's mention is brief, appearing in the context of the genealogies that trace the lineage and tribal affiliations of the inhabitants of the land. The name appears in Genesis 36:23: "These are the sons of Shobal: Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho, and Onam." This passage is part of the broader genealogical record that outlines the descendants of Esau and the chiefs of the Horites, providing insight into the familial and tribal structures of the time.
