Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible on Aniam

A man of Manasseh (1 Ch 7"). See Genealogy. ANIM (D'4V), Jos 15"* only. — A town of Judab, in the mountains near Eshtemoh. It seems prob- able that it is the present double ruin of Ghuuvin, west of Eshtemoh. The Heb. and Arab, guttural letters are equivalent. In the 4th cent. a.d. (Onomasticon, s.v. Anab and Astemcc) Anea or Anem is noticed as a large town near Eshtemoh ; and there were two places so called. It is identi- fied (s.v. Anim) witn the town now in question. All the inhabitants were then Christians. See ■S WP vol. iii. sheet xxiv. C. R. CONDER.
