| <p> <strong> [[Aner]] </strong> . <strong> 1 </strong> . 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 . ( 1 Chronicles 6:70 only). [[A]] town of Manasseh, west of Jordan. The site is doubtful. </p> | | <p> ''''' ā´nēr ''''' ( ענר , <i> ''''' ‛ānēr ''''' </i> ; [[Septuagint]] Αὐνάν , <i> ''''' Aunán ''''' </i> ; [[Samaritan]] Pentateuch, ענרם , <i> ''''' ‛anrām ''''' </i> , "sprout," "waterfall"): One of the three "confederates" of [[Abraham]] in his pursuit after the four kings ( Genesis 14:13 , Genesis 14:14 ). [[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. [[Dillmann]] suggested the name of a range of mountains in that vicinity ( <i> Comm </i> . at the place and Rosen in <i> ZDMG </i> , Xii , 479; Skinner, Genesis, 365). </p> |

| <p> (Heb., Aner', עָנֵר, perhaps a ''boy'' )'','' the name of a man and of a place. </p> <p> '''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]]). </p> <p> '''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). </p> <p> 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. </p>
