<p> [[Anak]] was a [[Canaanite]] whose descendants (called Anakim, plural of Anak) were giants. They lived in the south of [[Canaan]] in the hill country around Hebron. Because of the great size and fearsome appearance of the Anakim, the [[Israelites]] saw them as an obstacle to the conquest of Canaan. Only Joshua and [[Caleb]] believed [[Israel]] could conquer them (Numbers 13:22-33; Deuteronomy 9:2). </p> <p> Joshua and Caleb were, in fact, the ones who eventually led the attack on the Anakim. Most of the [[Anakim]] were slaughtered, the only ones who managed to escape being those who found refuge in the [[Philistine]] towns of Gaza, [[Gath]] and [[Ashdod]] (Joshua 11:21-22; Joshua 14:6-15). Gath remained the home of giants for several centuries (1 Samuel 17:4; 2 Samuel 21:18-22). </p> | <p> [[Anak]] was a [[Canaanite]] whose descendants (called Anakim, plural of Anak) were giants.

<p> | <p> [[Anakim,]] famous giants in Palestine. Anak, father of the Anakim, was son of Arba, who gave his name to Kirjath-Arba, or Hebron. Anak had three sons, Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, whose descendants were terrible for their fierceness and stature. The [[Hebrew]] spies reported that in comparison of those monstrous men, they themselves were but grasshoppers. Some have thought that the name <em> Phoenician, </em> given to the Canaanites, and particularly to the Sidonians, was originally from <em> Bene- Anak, </em> sons of Anak. Caleb, assisted by the tribe of Judah, took Kirjath- Arba, and destroyed the Anakim, [[A.M.]] 2559. Joshua 15:14; Judges 1:20 . </p> | ||
