Anab is one of the cities in the mountains of Judah, from which Joshua expelled the Anakim.[1] The biblical Anab was located at the site of today's Khirbet Anab.[2] It lies among the hills, 10 miles south-south-west of Hebron, in the West Bank.
Anab appears in Joshua 11:21 --
- "And Joshua came at that time, and cut off the Anakim from the hill-country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill-country of Judah, and from all the hill-country of Israel; Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities." -- Jewish Publication Society translation (1917).
Later, Joshua 15:50 lists Anab as one of a number of sites incorporated into the hilly parts of the territory of the Tribe of Judah.
