1. A mountainous plateau in Edomite territory, stretching from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Elath, inhabited by the Horrites (Gen. 14, 6), later subdued by the Edomites (Deut. 2, 12.22). A recent reading of the name of this place has been noted on an obelisk of Ramses II: this text clarifies the account in Deut. 2, 8 regarding the Israelites' passage while avoiding the Edomites of S.
2. The "Horrea" people (a branch of the Hurrians) who inhabited the eponymous plateau: in the genealogy given in Gen. 36, 20-30, many subdivisions ("sons") appear with totemic names.
3. A mountain in the western part of the tribe of Judah (Jos. 15, 10): perhaps the height four hours from Jerusalem on which lies the village of Sàris. But the text is doubtful (Septuagint: Aōsōp).
