Lotan was a son of Seir the Horite and a chief of the land of Edom (Gen.36.20,29; 1Ch.1.38). He had a sister named Timna (Gen.36.22; 1Ch.1.39). Lotan is listed among the descendants of Esau who settled in the region of Seir (Gen.36.20-30; 1Ch.1.38-42). The Horites were the original inhabitants of Seir before Esau's descendants displaced them (Deut.2.12). As a chief of Edom, Lotan likely held a position of authority and influence among his people.
