Anah
“one who answers; afflicted” Hitchcock's 18693 mentions in 2 books, most in Genesis (2)
Who he was
Anah is named among “the sons of Seir the Horite, the inhabitants of the land: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan” (Genesis 36:20–21; 1 Chronicles 1:38), and among “the chiefs who came of the Horites” (Genesis 36:29). The Horites lived in Seir before the children of Esau succeeded them (Deuteronomy 2:12).
He is a different man from his nephew Anah, the son of Zibeon, who found the hot springs in the wilderness and was the father of Esau’s wife Oholibamah (Genesis 36:24; Genesis 36:2).
