Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from a root of uncertain meaning.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Anath, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and context. The Greek Septuagint may transliterate the name, but it does not have a distinct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance. Usage: The name Anath appears in the context of the biblical narrative as the father of Shamgar, who is mentioned in the Book of Judges. Anath is also recognized in ancient Near Eastern texts as a goddess, but in the Bible, the focus is on the personal name. Context: Anath is mentioned in the Bible in Judges 3:31, where Shamgar, the son of Anath, is noted for delivering Israel by striking down six hundred Philistines with an oxgoad. The text states: "After Ehud came Shamgar son of Anath. He struck down six hundred Philistines with an oxgoad, and he too saved Israel." (BSB) The mention of Anath in this context is brief, and the focus is primarily on Shamgar's heroic act. The name Anath itself is more prominently known outside the biblical text as a Canaanite goddess, often depicted as a warrior and associated with Baal. However, the biblical reference does not elaborate on any divine attributes or connections, focusing instead on the genealogical aspect.
