ANAH.1. A daughter of Zibeon, and mother of Oholibamah, one of Esaus wives (Gen_36:2; Gen_36:14; Gen_36:18; Gen_36:26 (R [Note: Redactor.] )). Some ancient authorities (including LXX [Note: Septuagint.] . Sam. Pesh.) read son instead of daughter, which would identify this Anah with2. A son of Zibeon (Gen_36:24 (R [Note: Redactor.] ), 1Ch_1:40-41). 3. A Horite duke, brother of Zibeon (Gen_36:20; Gen_36:29 (R [Note: Redactor.] ), 1Ch_1:38). If we take Anah as an eponym rather than a personal name, and think of relationships between clans rather than individuals, it is quite possible to reduce the above three references to one. In regard to No. 2 the note is appended, This is Anah who found the hot springs (AV [Note: Authorized Version.] wrongly the mules) in the wilderness, as he fed the asses of Zibeon his father (Gen_36:24).
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible

Son of Zibeon, son of Seir the Horite; father of Aholibamah, Esau's wife (Gen_36:2; Gen_36:14; Gen_36:20; Gen_36:25). (See AHOLIBAMAH.) "Aholibamah, daughter of Ahab, daughter of Zibeon," is tantamount to granddaughter, i.e. descendant from Zibeon; not that Anah was "daughter of Zibeon," for Gen_36:20 calls him" son (i.e. grandson) of Seir." Those descendants alone of Seir are enumerated who, being heads of tribes, were connected with Edom; so Anah is mentioned because he was head of a tribe, independently of his father.
As sprung from Seir, he is called a "Horite," i.e. a dweller in caves or troglodyte; also a "Hivite," a branch of the Canaanites; also he is named "Beeri the Hittite," the "Hittites" being the general name for "Canaanites" (Gen_26:34). "Hirite" is thought by some a transcriber's error for "Horite." instead of "mules" (Gen_36:24) translate yemin "water springs"; not as Luther, "he invented mules" (Lev_19:19), but "discovered hotsprings" (so Vulgate and Syriac vers.) of which there are several S.E. of the Dead Sea, e.g. Callirrhoe in the wady Zerka Maein; another in wady el Ahsa, and in wady Hamad; whence he got the surname Beeri, or "the spring man." Judith is the same as Aholibamah.

A'nah. (one who answers). The son of Zibeon and father of Aholibamah, one of Esau's wives. Gen_36:2; Gen_36:14; Gen_36:25. He is supposed to have discovered the "hot springs" (not "mules," as in the Authorized Version) in the desert as he fed the asses of Zibeon, his father. (B.C. 1797).

ā?na (ענה, 'anah, meaning uncertain; a Horite clan-name (Gen 36)):
(1) Mother of Aholibamah, one of the wives of Esau and daughter of Zibeon (compare Gen_36:2, Gen_36:14, Gen_36:18, Gen_36:25). The Septuagint, the Samaritan Pentateuch, and the Peshitta read ?son,? identifying this Anah with number 3 (see below); Gen_36:2, read (החרי, ha-ḥōrı̄), for (החוּי, ha-ḥiwwı̄).
(2) Son of Seir, the Horite, and brother of Zibeon; one of the chiefs of the land of Edom (compare Gen_36:20, Gen_36:21 = 1Ch_1:38). Seir is elsewhere the name of the land (compare Gen_14:6; Isa_21:11); but here the country is personified and becomes the mythical ancestor of the tribes inhabiting it.
(3) Son of Zibeon, ?This is Anah who found the hot springs in the wilderness? (compare Gen_36:24 = 1Ch_1:40, 1Ch_1:41) The word היּמים, ha-yēmı̄m, occurs only in this passage and is probably corrupt. Ball (Sacred Books of the Old Testament, Genesis, critical note 93) suggests that it is a corruption of והימם, we-hēmām (compare Gen_36:22) in an earlier verse. Jerome, in his commentary on Gen_36:24, assembles the following definitions of the word gathered from Jewish sources. (1) ?seas? as though ימּים, yammı̄m; (2) ?hot springs? as though חמּים, ḥammı̄m; (3) a species of ass, ימין, yemı̄n; (4) ?mules.? This last explanation was the one most frequently met with in Jewish lit; the tradition ran that Anah was the first to breed the mule, thus bringing into existence an unnatural species. As a punishment, God created the deadly water-snake, through the union of the common viper with the Libyan lizard (compare Gen Rabbah 82 15, Yer. Ber 1 12b; Babylonian Pes 54a, Ginzberg, Monatschrift, XLII, 538-39).
The descent of Anah is thus represented in the three ways pointed out above as the text stands. If, however, we accept the reading בּן, ben, for בּת, bath, in the first case, Aholibamah will then be an unnamed daughter of the Anah of Gen_36:24, not the Aholibamah, daughter of Anah of Gen_36:25 (for the Anah of this verse is evidently the one of Gen_36:20, not the Anah of Gen_36:24). Another view is that the words, ?the daughter of Zibeon,? are a gloss, inserted by one who mistakenly identified the Anah of Gen_36:25 with the Anah of Gen_36:24; in this event, Aholibamah, the daughter of Anah, will be the one mentioned in Gen_36:25.
The difference between (2) and (3) is to be explained on the basis of a twofold tradition. Anah was originally a sub-clan of the clan known as Zibeon, and both were ?sons of Seir? - i.e. Horites.

A?nah (responder), son of Zibeon the Hivite, and father of Esau's wife Aholibamah (Gen_36:24). While feeding asses in the desert he discovered 'warm springs,' as the original is rendered by Jerome. Gesenius and most modern critics think this interpretation correct, supported as it is by the fact that warm springs are still found in the region east of the Dead Sea.

Anah
(Heb., Anah', עֲנָה, speech or affliction; Sept. Α᾿νά), the name of one or two Horites.
1. The fourth mentioned of the sons of Seir, and head of an Idumaean tribe preceding the arrival of Esau (Gen_36:20; Gen_36:29; 1Ch_1:38), B.C. much ante 1964. It seems most natural to suppose him to be also the one referred to in Gen_36:25, as otherwise his children are not at all enumerated, as are those of all his brothers (Hengstenberg, Genuineness of the Pentateuch, 2, 229), although from Gen_36:2 some have inferred that another person of the same name is there meant. SEE DISHON; SEE AHOLIBAMAH.
2. The second named of the two sons of Zibeon the Hivite, and father of Esau's wife Aholibamah (Gen_36:18; Gen_36:24). B.C. ante 1964. While feeding asses in the desert he discovered warm springs (aquca calide), as the original, יְמַים, yemim', is rendered by Jerome, who states that the word had still this signification in the Punic language. Gesenius and most modern critics think this interpretation correct, supported as it is by the fact that warm springs are still found in the region east of the Dead Sea. The Syriac has simply waters, which Dr. Lee seems to prefer. Most of the Greek translators retain the original as a proper name, Ι᾿αμείμ, probably not venturing to translate. The Samaritan text, followed by the Targums, has Emims, giants. Our version of mules is now generally abandoned, but is supported by the Arabic and Veneto-Greek versions. SEE MULE.
In Gen_36:2; Gen_36:14, of the above chap. Anah is called the daughter of Zibeon, evidently by an error of transcription, as the Samaritan and Sept. have son; or (with Winer, Hengstenberg, Tuch, Knobel, and many others) we may here understand it to mean grand-daughter, still referring to Aholibamah (Turner's Compan. to Genesis p. 331). SEE ZIBEON. He had but one son, Dishon (Gen_36:25; 1Ch_1:40-41), who appears to be named because of his affinity with Esau (q.v.) through his sister's marriage. We may further conclude, with Hengstenberg (Pent. 2, 280; Engl. transl. 2, 229), that the Anah mentioned among the sons of Seir in 5,20 in connection with Zibeon is the same person as is here referred to, and is therefore the grandson of Seir. The intention of the genealogy plainly is not so much to give the lineal descent of the Seirites as to enumerate those descendants who, being heads of tribes, came into connection with the Edomites. It would thus appear that Anah, from whom Esau's wife sprang, was the head of a tribe independent of his father, and ranking on an equality with that tribe. Several difficulties occur in regard to the race and name of Anah. By his descent from Seir he is a Horite (Gen_36:20), while in Gen_36:2 he is called a Hivite, and again in the narrative (Gen_26:34) he is called Beeri the Hittite. Hengstenberg's explanation of the first of these difficulties, by supposing that one of the descendants of Seir received the specific epithet Hori (i.e. Troglodyte, or dweller in a cave) as a definite proper name (Pent. 2, 228), is hardly adequate, for others of the same family are similarly named; it is more probable that the word Hivite (הִחַוּי) is a mistake of transcribers for Horite (הִחֹרַי), or rather that all the branches of the Hivites were, in course of time, more particularly called Horites, from their style of habitation in the caves of Matthew Seir. See: HORITE. As the name Beeri signifiesfontanus, i.e. man of the fountain (בְּאֵר), this has been thought. to be his designation with reference to the above noticed warm springs of Callirrhoe discovered 1ly him; whereas in the genealogy proper he is fitly called by his original name Anah. SEE BEER.
