Manahath

Male · 2 cross references

Manahath is an Edomite clan-name listed among the descendants of Seir. The page uses a person-style entry for a genealogical ancestor whose name stands behind a people or sub-group in the Horite line. First appears in Gen 36:23.1

AI summary: Manahath matters because the cross references place the name inside the pre-Israelite family structures of Seir and Edom. Even without a narrative scene, such entries help the Bible preserve the human landscape of neighboring peoples who occupy the region before and alongside Israel's story. Taken together, the material presents Manahath as part of the genealogical framework that locates Edom within the wider biblical world.1
