Strong's Lexicon Anath: Anath Original Word: עֲנָת Word Origin: Derived from a root that may mean "to answer" or "to sing." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the name Anath in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. Usage: Anath is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a person. It is most notably recognized as the name of the father of Shamgar, one of the judges of Israel. The name Anath itself does not carry a specific meaning in the biblical text, but it is associated with the identity and lineage of Shamgar. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, names often held significant meaning and were sometimes associated with deities or cultural attributes. Anath is also the name of a Canaanite goddess of war and fertility, which may suggest cultural interactions or influences in the naming conventions of the time. However, in the biblical narrative, Anath is simply presented as a personal name without any direct connection to the goddess.
