Berean Strong's Lexicon Aner: Aner Original Word: אָנֵר Word Origin: Of uncertain derivation Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew name Aner in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. Usage: Aner is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a person. Specifically, Aner is one of the Amorite allies of Abram (later Abraham) who assisted him in the rescue of Lot. The name itself does not have a clear etymology or meaning in Hebrew, but it is used to identify a specific individual in the biblical narrative. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the ancient Near East, alliances between different groups and tribes were common for mutual protection and support. Aner, along with Mamre and Eshcol, is mentioned as an ally of Abram. These alliances were crucial for survival and success in the region, which was characterized by frequent conflicts and shifting power dynamics. Aner, as an Amorite, would have been part of a Semitic-speaking people who inhabited the land of Canaan before the Israelite conquest.
