Subjects in this Topic:
ANER.—1. One of the three Amorite chieftains, the other two being Mamre and Eshcol, who were in covenant with Abraham (Gen_14:13; Gen_14:24). As Mamre is an old name for Hebron (Gen_23:2), and Eshcol is the name of a valley not far from Hebron (Num_13:23), it is natural to suppose that Aner also was the name of a locality which gave its name to a clan. 2. (1Ch_6:70 only).—A town of Manasseh, west of Jordan. The site is doubtful.
