Bible Comments

And Anab, and Eshtemoh, and Anim,

Anab, х `Anaab (H6024), grapetown; Septuagint, Anoon] - the Anab of the present day (Robinson's 'Biblical Researches,' 2:, pp. 194, 195).

Eshtemoh (obedience, Gesenius) [Septuagint, Es] - now Semu'a, the site of an extensive ancient town (Robinson's 'Biblical Researches,' 2:, p. 194; also 627; Bonar, 'Land of Promise,' p. 54).

Anim, [contract. for `Aaniym (H6044), fountains (Gesenius); Septuagint, Aisam]. Eusebius and Jerome ('Onomast.,' art. Auseem) say it was about 9 miles south of Hebron. Wilson ('Lands of the Bible,' 1:, pp. 353-354) considers this Anim as el-Ghuwein; not the Ain (Joshua 15:32) as Robinson does.
