Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Anacharath, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun referring to a location within the Old Testament context. Greek equivalents would typically be transliterations or adaptations of Hebrew place names when referenced in the Septuagint or other Greek texts.

Usage: The term "Anacharath" is used in the context of a geographical location within the tribal allotments of Israel. It appears in the Old Testament as part of the description of the boundaries of the tribe of Issachar.

Context: Anacharath is mentioned in the Book of Joshua as one of the towns within the inheritance of the tribe of Issachar. The reference to Anacharath is found in Joshua 19:19, where it is listed among other towns in the region. The exact location of Anacharath is not definitively known today, but it is understood to have been situated in the northern part of ancient Israel, within the boundaries assigned to Issachar. The name Anacharath itself is thought to be derived from a root meaning "to force" or "to compel," although the significance of this etymology in relation to the town is not clear from the biblical text. The mention of Anacharath in the Bible is brief, and it does not play a significant role in the narrative beyond its inclusion in the territorial description.
