Topical Lexicon

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Anamim, as this is a specific Hebrew proper noun related to genealogical records in the Old Testament.

Usage: The term "Anamim" is used in the context of genealogical records in the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the Table of Nations, which outlines the descendants of Noah's sons after the flood.

Context: • The Anamim are mentioned in the genealogical lists found in the Book of Genesis and 1 Chronicles. They are identified as descendants of Mizraim, who was a son of Ham, one of Noah's three sons. This places the Anamim among the various groups that emerged from the lineage of Ham, traditionally associated with the peoples of Africa and parts of the Near East.
• In Genesis 10:13-14 (BSB), the Anamim are listed among the descendants of Mizraim: "Mizraim was the father of the Ludites, Anamites, Lehabites, Naphtuhites, Pathrusites, Casluhites (from whom the Philistines came), and the Caphtorites."
• Similarly, 1 Chronicles 1:11-12 (BSB) reiterates this genealogy: "Mizraim was the father of the Ludites, Anamites, Lehabites, Naphtuhites, Pathrusites, Casluhites (from whom the Philistines came), and the Caphtorites."
• The Anamim, like other groups mentioned in these genealogies, are part of the broader narrative that seeks to explain the origins and relationships of various ancient peoples. The exact historical identity and location of the Anamim remain uncertain, as they are not prominently featured in other historical or archaeological records outside of these biblical genealogies.
