ANAH ā’ nə (עֲנָ֔ה). 1. Either the father or the mother of Oholibamah, one of Esau’s wives, and either the son (RSV) or the daughter (KJV, ASV) of Zibeon (Gen 36:2, 14, 18, 25; 1 Chron 1:40 f.). Genesis 36:2 says he was a Hivite, but perhaps it should read “Horite.” Genesis 36:24 says, “he is the Anah who found the hot springs in the wilderness” (RSV, ASV); the KJV has “mules” instead of “hot springs.”

2. A Horite chief, brother of Zibeon (Gen 36:20, 29; 1 Chron 1:38). It is possible that one and two are identical.
