Joshua 21:11

11 Cariatharbe patris Enach quae vocatur Hebron in monte Iuda et suburbana eius per circuitum

Joshua 21:11 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 21:11

And they gave them the city of Arba, the father of Anak
Which from him was called Kirjatharba, ( Joshua 14:15 ) ; and Anak, according to Kimchi, is not the name of a man, but a general name, comprehending the Anakims, a race of giants, among whom Arba was the chief and principal man, a prince and ruler over them, as Ben Melech:

which [city is] Hebron in the hill [country] of Judah;
as in ( Joshua 14:15 ) ; see ( Luke 1:39 Luke 1:65 ) ;

with the suburbs thereof round about it;
as far as two thousand cubits, which were to put their cattle in, and provision for them.
