It is mentioned in the context of the allotment of land to the tribe of Judah. Anab is also referenced in <a href="/joshua/11-21.htm">Joshua 11:21</a>, where Joshua is said to have cut off the Anakim from the hill country, including Anab. The Anakim were a race of giants, and their presence in Anab highlights the challenges faced by the Israelites in conquering the land. The defeat of the Anakim in Anab signifies God's power and faithfulness in fulfilling His promises to Israel. Archaeologically, Anab is identified with the modern village of Anab, southwest of Hebron, providing a tangible connection to the biblical narrative.<p><b>Eshtemoh</b><br>Eshtemoh, also known as Eshtemoa, is another town in the hill country of Judah. It is mentioned in several biblical passages, including <a href="/1_samuel/30-28.htm">1 Samuel 30:28</a>, where David sends spoils to his friends in Eshtemoa. This indicates that Eshtemoh was a significant settlement during the time of David. The town was also designated as a Levitical city, as noted in <a href="/1_chronicles/6-57.htm">1 Chronicles 6:57</a>, which underscores its religious importance. The location of Eshtemoh is identified with the modern site of es-Semu'a, which has yielded archaeological findings that align with its biblical history.<p><b>Anim</b><br>Anim is a lesser-known town in the hill country of Judah. Its mention in <a href="/joshua/15-50.htm">Joshua 15:50</a> is one of the few references in the Bible, indicating its inclusion in the tribal allotment. The name Anim may be derived from a root meaning "fountains" or "springs," suggesting a location with water resources, which would have been vital for settlement. The exact location of Anim is uncertain, but it is thought to be near the other towns listed in the same passage. The inclusion of Anim in the list of towns highlights the comprehensive nature of the land distribution among the tribes of Israel, ensuring that even smaller settlements were accounted for in God's provision for His people.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/anab.htm">Anab</a></b><br>A town in the hill country of Judah, mentioned in the context of the allotment of land to the tribe of Judah.
