Judging from the meanings of the two other names, [[Mamre]] being the name of the sacred grove or tree (Jahwist) and synonymous with [[Hebron]] (Priestly Code); and Eschol - a name of a valley (lit. "grape cluster") from which the personal names are derived - it may be expected to explain the name Aner in a similar way.

    ANER . 1 . One of the three Amorite chieftains, the other two being Mamre and Eshcol, who were in covenant with Abraham ( Genesis 14:13; Genesis 14:24 ). As Mamre is an old name for Hebron ( Genesis 23:2 ), and Eshcol is the name of a valley not far from Hebron ( Numbers 13:23 ), it is natural to suppose that Aner also was the name of a locality which gave its name to a Colossians 2 Colossians 2 .

    Aner, 1

    A´ner, Esh´col, and Mam´re, three Canaanitish chiefs in the neighborhood of Hebron who joined their forces with those of Abraham in pursuit of Chedorlaomer and his allies, who had pillaged Sodom and carried Lot away captive (Genesis 14:24). These chiefs did not, however, imitate the disinterested conduct of the patriarch, but retained their portion of the spoil [ABRAHAM].

    Aner, 2

    Aner, a city of Manasseh, given to the Levites of Kohath's family (1 Chronicles 6:70).

    Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature [10]

    (Heb., Aner', עָנֵר, perhaps a boy), the name of a man and of a place.

    1. (Sept. Αὐνάν .) A Canaanitish chief in the neighborhood of Hebron, who, with two others, Eshcol and Mamre, joined his forces with those of Abraham in pursuit of Chedorlaomer and his allies, who had pillaged Sodom and carried Lot away captive (Genesis 14:13; Genesis 14:24), B.C. cir. 2080. These chiefs did not, however, imitate the disinterested conduct of the patriarch, but retained their portion of the spoil. (See Abraham).

    2. (Sept. Ε᾿νήρ v. r. Ἀνάρ .) A city of Manasseh, given to the Levites of Kohath's family (1 Chronicles 6:70). Gesenius supposes this to be the same with the TAANACH (See Taanach) (q.v.) of Judges 1:27, or TANACH (See Tanach) (Joshua 21:25).

    Tristram suggests (Bible Places, p. 205) that "this may, perhaps, be recognised in the modern village of Anim, near Taanuk, where are the remains of an ancient site;" meaning, doubtless, the Ann marked on the Ordnance Map as three and a half miles southwest of Taanuk. Lieut. Conder, on the other hand, regards this place as the representation of Anem, and suggests the modern Ellar as the site of Aner (Tent Work, 2, 334). Neither suggestion seems to be called for.
