What does Genesis 36:21 mean?

This section of verses (Genesis 36:20–30) lists the descendants of Seir the Horite. The Horites were the original peoples of the land (Genesis 14:6) that came to be occupied by Esau and his descendants (Genesis 36:6–8). Seir's sons included Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, and now Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan.

These sons of Seir are also referred to as "chiefs" of the Horite people, just as the sons and grandsons of Esau were described as "chiefs" of the Edomite people in the previous verses (Genesis 36:15–19).
