<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 (&nbsp;Genesis 14:13 , &nbsp;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>
