Usage: The name Anah appears in the genealogies and narratives of the Old Testament, specifically in the context of the Edomite and Horite lineages.

Context: Anah is a name associated with several individuals in the Old Testament, primarily within the genealogies of the Edomites and Horites. The name appears in the following contexts:

• Anah, Son of Zibeon: Anah is mentioned as the son of Zibeon and a chief among the Horites. He is noted for discovering hot springs in the wilderness while tending the donkeys of his father, Zibeon. This Anah is listed in the genealogies of Esau's descendants, indicating his significance in the Edomite lineage. (Genesis 36:24, BSB: "These are the sons of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah. This is the Anah who discovered the hot springs in the wilderness while he was pasturing the donkeys of his father Zibeon.")

• Anah, Father of Aholibamah: Another reference to Anah is as the father of Aholibamah, one of Esau's wives. This connection further integrates Anah into the Edomite family tree, highlighting the intermarriage between Esau's descendants and the Horites. (Genesis 36:2, BSB: "Esau took his wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah daughter of Anah, the granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite.")

• Anah, Daughter of Zibeon: In some genealogical listings, Anah is referred to as a daughter of Zibeon, which may indicate a textual variation or a different individual with the same name. This highlights the complexity and potential ambiguities in ancient genealogical records. (Genesis 36:14, BSB: "These are the sons of Esau’s wife Oholibamah, daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon: She bore to Esau Jeush, Jalam, and Korah.")

The name Anah, therefore, is significant in the context of the Edomite and Horite genealogies, illustrating the interconnectedness of these ancient peoples and their leaders.
