Bib. ANAK. Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root עָנַק (H6059), meaning "to be tall" or "to be long-necked."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew proper noun "Anak" in the Strong's Greek Concordance, as it is a specific name unique to the Hebrew text. However, the concept of giants or large beings can be related to the Greek term "γίγας" (G1096), which refers to giants or mighty men, similar to the Nephilim mentioned in the Old Testament. Usage: The term "Anak" is used in the context of describing the descendants of Anak, known as the Anakim, who were noted for their great size and strength. They are mentioned in the context of the land of Canaan, which the Israelites were to conquer. Context: Anak is a significant figure in the Old Testament, primarily known as the ancestor of the Anakim, a formidable race of giants inhabiting the land of Canaan. The Anakim are first mentioned in the context of the Israelite spies' report in Numbers 13:33, where they are described as descendants of the Nephilim, causing fear among the Israelites due to their imposing stature. The Anakim were inhabitants of the hill country, particularly around Hebron, as noted in Joshua 11:21 and 14:15. The city of Hebron was originally called Kiriath-Arba, named after Arba, the greatest man among the Anakim (Joshua 14:15). Caleb, one of the faithful spies, later drove out the Anakim from Hebron as part of the Israelite conquest of Canaan (Joshua 15:13-14). The presence of the Anakim in the land served as a test of faith for the Israelites, challenging them to trust in God's promise despite the intimidating presence of these giants.
