Strong's Lexicon Anaq: Anak Original Word: עָנָק Word Origin: Derived from the root word עָנַק (anāq), meaning "to be tall" or "to be long-necked." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Anaq" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as the term specifically refers to a Hebrew cultural and historical context. However, the concept of giants can be related to the Greek word "γίγας" (Gigas), meaning "giant." Usage: The term "Anaq" refers to the Anakim, a race of giants mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. The Anakim are described as formidable and tall, often instilling fear in the Israelites. They are descendants of Anak, a notable figure among these giants. Cultural and Historical Background: The Anakim were inhabitants of Canaan before the arrival of the Israelites. They were known for their great size and strength, which made them a significant obstacle for the Israelites during their conquest of the Promised Land. The Anakim were associated with the Nephilim, a group of giants mentioned in Genesis. Their presence in Canaan was a test of faith for the Israelites, who had to rely on God's promise and strength to overcome them.
