The three names (Ahiman, Sheshai, Talmai) also occur together in Judges 1:10 . The word Anak in the [[Hebrew]] [[Bible]] has the definite article except in Numbers 13:33 and Deuteronomy 9:2 . Its use is that of a common noun denoting a certain type of man, rather than as the proper name of a person or a clan, though this need not prevent our thinking of the [[Anakim]] as a clan or group of clans, who regarded Arba as their founder. The question is raised whether [[Ahiman]] and [[Sheshai]] and [[Talmai]] are to be thought of as persons or as clans.
