Brown-Driver-Briggs חֶמְדָּן proper name, masculine an Edomite Genesis 36:26 ᵐ5 Αμαδα = חַמְרָן 1 Chronicles 1:41 (ᵐ5 Εμερων, ᵐ5L Αμαδαμ). Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root חָמַד (chamad), meaning "to desire" or "to delight in." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper noun Chemdan, as it is specific to the Hebrew genealogical context. However, the concept of desirability or delight, as implied by the root חָמַד (chamad), can be related to Greek words expressing similar ideas, such as ἐπιθυμία (epithymia), meaning "desire" or "longing." Usage: The name Chemdan appears in genealogical records within the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the context of family lineage. Context: • Chemdan is mentioned in the genealogical lists of the descendants of Seir the Horite. He is identified as one of the sons of Dishon, who was a chief among the Horites. The Horites were an ancient people who inhabited the region of Seir before the Edomites. The name Chemdan reflects a characteristic of desirability or delight, which may have been a trait or aspiration associated with this individual or his lineage. • Biblical Reference: Chemdan is referenced in 1 Chronicles 1:41, where the genealogies of the Edomites and their predecessors are recorded. The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) translates this passage as follows: "The sons of Anah: Dishon. The sons of Dishon: Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran, and Cheran." • The mention of Chemdan in the genealogical records serves to establish the historical and familial context of the Horites and their integration into the broader narrative of the Edomite and Israelite histories.
