Strong's Lexicon anak: Anak Original Word: אֲנָךְ Word Origin: Derived from the root עָנַק (ʿānaq), meaning "to be tall" or "to wear a necklace." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Anak," but the concept of giants is reflected in the Greek term γίγας (Gigas), Strong's Greek 1096, which refers to giants or mighty men. Usage: The term "Anak" refers to a person or group of people known as the Anakim, a race of giants mentioned in the Old Testament. The Anakim were descendants of Anak and were noted for their great size and strength. The term is often used to describe formidable opponents or challenges faced by the Israelites. Cultural and Historical Background: The Anakim were inhabitants of Canaan before the arrival of the Israelites. They were considered fearsome and powerful, contributing to the Israelites' initial fear of entering the Promised Land. The Anakim are often associated with other giant clans such as the Rephaim and the Nephilim. Their presence in the land of Canaan is significant in the narrative of Israel's conquest and settlement, symbolizing the daunting obstacles that the Israelites had to overcome with God's help.
