i. A daughter of Zibeon, and mother of Oholibamah, one of Esau's wives. On 3g2. u. 18. » (H). The mention of a daughter in this genealogical list has been used to prove that kinship amongst the Horites was traced tlirougli women (\V. R. Smith in Journal of Philology, ix. p. 50). As is pointed out, however, in \K\ •». so""; ancient authorities (including LXX. Sam. resh.) read son instead of daughter, which would identify this A. with 2. a son of Zibeon, Gn 36" (R), 1 Cli l«.

It wa simply the context that gave rise to the conjecture accepted by Luther and AV that the word mean Tmdls. The Vulg. trn. {aquas calidas) prob.

is correct (so Kautzsch, 'die heissen Quellen'), and the hot springs' may possibly be identified with Callirrhoe to the E. of the Dead Sea. The chief difiiculty in accepting this interpretetion is that no root for the word can be discovered which would suit such a meaning (Ox/. Hch. Lex. s.v. ; cf.
