However, the concept of giants can be related to the Greek word "γίγας" (Gigas), meaning "giant."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "Anaq" refers to the Anakim, a race of giants mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. The Anakim are described as formidable and tall, often instilling fear in the Israelites. They are descendants of Anak, a notable figure among these giants.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The Anakim were inhabitants of Canaan before the arrival of the Israelites. They were known for their great size and strength, which made them a significant obstacle for the Israelites during their conquest of the Promised Land. The Anakim were associated with the Nephilim, a group of giants mentioned in Genesis. Their presence in Canaan was a test of faith for the Israelites, who had to rely on God's promise and strength to overcome them.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"neck," a Canaanite<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Anak (9).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I. <font class="hebrew2">עֲנָק</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>neck</b></font>, only in <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>epithet of people</b></font> <font class="hebrew2">בְּנֵי הָעֲנָק</font> <em>long-necked</em> (tall) <em>men</em>, early giant people about Hebron and in Philistia, <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ενακ</font>, <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Εναχ</font>, <a href="/interlinear/joshua/15-14.htm">Joshua 15:14</a> (JE) = <a href="/interlinear/judges/1-20.htm">Judges 1:20</a>, without article <a href="/interlinear/numbers/13-33.htm">Numbers 13:33</a> (JE), <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/9-2.htm">Deuteronomy 9:2</a>; also <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">יְלִדַי הָע</font> <a href="/interlinear/numbers/13-22.htm">Numbers 13:22,28</a>; <a href="/interlinear/joshua/15-14.htm">Joshua 15:14</a> (all J E); called also <font class="hebrew2">עֲנָקִים</font> <em>long-necks</em>, <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ενακειμ</font>, <a href="/interlinear/joshua/14-12.htm">Joshua 14:12</a>,15 (JE), <a href="/interlinear/joshua/11-21.htm">Joshua 11:21</a>,22 (D), <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/2-10.htm">Deuteronomy 2:10</a>,11,21 + <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/47-5.htm">Jeremiah 47:5</a> (read <font class="hebrew2">עֲנָקִים</font> for <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ0</font> <font class="hebrew2">עִמְקָם</font>), and perhaps <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/12-16.htm">1 Chronicles 12:16</a> (see <font class="hebrew2">עֵמֶק</font> <em>near the end</em>); <font class="hebrew2">בְּנֵי עֲנָקִים</font> <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/1-28.htm">1 Chronicles 1:28</a> (<font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">γίγαντες</font>, compare <a href="/interlinear/numbers/13-33.htm">Numbers 13:33</a>), <a href="/interlinear/numbers/9-2.htm">Numbers 9:2</a>; <font class="hebrew2">עֲנָק</font> later (erroneously) as eponymous ancestor of Anakim <a href="/interlinear/joshua/15-13.htm">Joshua 15:13</a> = <font class="hebrew2">עֲנוֺק</font> <a href="/interlinear/joshua/21-11.htm">Joshua 21:11</a> (both P). — See especially Mey<sup>ZAW i (1881), 139</sup> GFM<sup>Judges 1:10. 20</sup> Che<sup>Ency.
