ANAB
ANAB (Anav ; Heb. עֲנָב), city in the southern hill district of Judah that is mentioned in the Bible next to Eshtemoah (Josh. 15:50). In another reference Joshua "cut off the Anakim ('giants') from Hebron, Debir, and Anab" (ibid. 11:21). Eusebius (Onom. 26:8) places it in the area of Eleutheropolis (Bet-Guvrin). It has been identified with Khirbat ʿAnāb al-Ṣaghīra (Heb. Tel Rekhesh) 1 mi. (1.5 km.) west of al-Ẓāhiriyya on the Hebron–Beersheba road, where Iron Age pottery has been discovered.
