Zibeon is a Horite, a group mentioned in Genesis as inhabitants of the land of Seir before the Edomites. The Horites are often associated with cave dwellers, and their presence in the region indicates a complex social structure before the Edomites' dominance. Aiah and Anah are listed as sons, suggesting a lineage that contributes to the tribal and familial structures significant in Genesis. The mention of sons highlights the importance of genealogy in the biblical narrative, emphasizing the fulfillment of God's promises through specific family lines.(This is the Anah who found the hot springs in the wilderness Anah's discovery of hot springs is a unique detail, indicating a significant event or achievement. In the ancient Near East, water sources were crucial for survival, and finding a hot spring would have been a notable accomplishment. This discovery may have contributed to the prosperity or strategic importance of the region. The wilderness setting underscores the harsh and challenging environment in which these events occurred, reflecting the broader biblical theme of God's provision in desolate places.as he was pasturing the donkeys of his father Zibeon.) Pasturing donkeys suggests a pastoral lifestyle, common among the patriarchs and their descendants. Donkeys were valuable for transportation and agriculture, indicating Anah's role in sustaining his family's livelihood. This activity connects to the broader biblical theme of shepherding, which is often used metaphorically to describe leadership and care. The mention of his father Zibeon reinforces the familial and hierarchical structures prevalent in the biblical narrative, where sons often worked under the authority of their fathers, maintaining family wealth and status.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/z/zibeon.htm">Zibeon</a> A Horite chief, father of Aiah and Anah, mentioned in the genealogies of Esau's descendants. 2. <a href="/topical/a/aiah.htm">Aiah</a> Son of Zibeon, mentioned briefly in the genealogical records. 3. <a href="/topical/a/anah.htm">Anah</a> Son of Zibeon, noted for discovering hot springs in the wilderness. 4. <a href="/topical/h/hot_springs.htm">Hot Springs</a> Discovered by Anah, these are significant as a geographical and historical marker in the account. 5. <a href="/topical/w/wilderness.htm">Wilderness</a> The location where Anah discovered the hot springs, indicating a place of desolation and solitude.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_genealogy.htm">The Importance of Genealogy</a> Understanding the genealogies in the Bible helps us see God's unfolding plan through history and the significance of each individual in His account. <a href="/topical/d/discovery_and_providence.htm">Discovery and Providence</a> Anah's discovery of the hot springs can be seen as an example of God's providence, where even seemingly mundane events are part of His divine plan. <a href="/topical/f/faithfulness_in_small_tasks.htm">Faithfulness in Small Tasks</a> Anah was tending donkeys when he made his discovery.

Jerome, moreover, says that "the word in Punic, a language allied to Hebrew, means hot springs;" and this translation is now generally adopted. Lange gives a list of hot springs in the Edomite region, of which those of Calirrhoe, "the stream of beauty," in the Wady Zerka Maion, are probably those found by Anah.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/genesis/36.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 24. - And these are the children of Zibeon; both Ajah, - "Screamer" (Gesenius) - and Anah: - the father-in-law of Esau (ver. 2) - this was that Anah that found the mules in the wilderness, - neither invented the procreation of mules (Aben Ezra, Kimchi, Luther, Calvin, Willet, Clarke, Ainsworth, etc.), since מָעַא does not signify to invent, but to light upon or discover (Keil), and there were no horses at that time in those regions (Michaelis), and it is not said that Anah was feeding his father's horses and asses, but only asses (Rosenmüller); nor overcame the giants (Onkelos, Samaritan, Bochart),which would have required אימים (<a href="/genesis/14-5.htm">Genesis 14:5</a>; <a href="/deuteronomy/2-11.htm">Deuteronomy 2:11</a>); nor found out salt water (Oleaster, Percrius), a useful herb (Mais), or Ἰαμεὶν as a proper name (LXX.); but discovered the warm springs, the ἅπαξ λεγόμενον, יֵמִים, being now generally taken to mean aquce callidae (Vulgate, Dathius, Gesenius, Rosenmüller, Hengstenberg, Keil, Kalisch, Murphy), of which there were venous in the vicinity, as, e.g., the springs of Callirrhoe in the Wady Zerka Maein, and those, in the Wady-el-Ahsa to the south-east of the Dead Sea, and those in the Wady Hamad between Kerek and the Dead Sea - as he fed (literally, in his feeding) the asses of Zibeon his father.
