6062. Anaq
Strong's Lexicon
Anaq: Anak

Original Word: עֲנָקִי
Part of Speech: Adjective
Transliteration: `Anaqiy
Pronunciation: ah-NAHK
Phonetic Spelling: (an-aw-kee')
Definition: Anak
Meaning: an Anakite

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 is specific to the Hebrew context of the Old Testament.

Usage: The term "Anaq" refers to the Anakim, a race of giants mentioned in the Old Testament. The Anakim were known for their great size and strength, and they were considered formidable opponents by the Israelites. The name "Anak" itself is often associated with the idea of being "long-necked" or "tall," emphasizing their imposing stature.

Cultural and Historical Background: The Anakim were descendants of Anak and were inhabitants of the land of Canaan before the arrival of the Israelites. They are often associated with the Nephilim, a group of giants mentioned in Genesis 6:4. The presence of the Anakim in Canaan was a significant concern for the Israelites, as their size and strength posed a considerable challenge during the conquest of the Promised Land. The Anakim were primarily located in the hill country of Hebron, and their presence is noted in the biblical narrative as a test of faith for the Israelites.
