Exegesis
The term ha-chori {הַחֹרִי | ha-ḥō-rî} is governed by beharram {בְּהַרְרָם | bə-har-rām} ‘in their hill country,’ specifying the domain of the Horites, with seir {שֵׂעִיר | śē-ʿîr} identifying those highlands in apposition.
In context — Genesis 14:6
And they struck the Horites in their hill country of Seir, as far as El Paran, which is by the wilderness.
