ANAK

Anak (; Hebrew: עֲנָק‎, homophone to a word for "giant, long neck, necklace"; Hebrew pronunciation: [ʕaˈnɔːq]) is a figure in the Hebrew Bible. His descendants are mentioned in narratives concerning the conquest of Canaan by the Israelites. According to the Book of Numbers, Anak was a forefather of the Anakim, a Rephaite tribe according to Deuteronomy 2:11 . In their report, ten of the twelve Israelite spies associated the Anakim with the Nephilim of Genesis 6:1–4.
