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.
