<p> (Heb. Chemdan', '''''חֶמְדָּן''''' '', Pleasant;'' Sept. '''''Ἀμαδά''''' , [[Vulgate]] ''Hemdam),'' the first named of the foul "children" of Dishon, which latter was a son of [[Seir]] and one of the [[Horite]] "dukes" antecedent to the supremacy of the [[Edomites]] in Mt. Seir (&nbsp;Genesis 36:26). B.C. cir. 1964. In &nbsp;1 Chronicles 1:41, the name is, by an error of transcribers, written [[Hamran]] (Heb. Chamrani, '''''חִמְרָן''''' , Sept. correctly '''''Ἀμαδί''''' , Vulg. ''Hanran,'' Eng.Vers. " '''''‘''''' Amram"). "The name [[Hemdan]] is by Knobel ''(Genesis,'' p. 256) compared with those of ''Humeidy'' and ''Hamady,'' two of the five families of the tribe of Omriln r Amran, who are located to the E. and S.E. of Akaba (Robinson, ''Researches,'' 1, 268); also with the ''Bene-Hanzyde,'' who are found a short distance S. of Kerek (S.E. comer of the [[Dead]] Sea); and from thence to El- Busaireh, probably the ancient Bozrah, on the road to Petra. (See Burckhardt, ''Syria,'' etc., p. 695, 407.) </p>
