the Anah who found the hot springs in the wilderness
on Genesis 36:24-25
One line of story breaks into the register, where Anah finds hot springs in the wilderness while pasturing his father Zibeon's donkeys. Jerome reports the question much debated among the Hebrews, and Jamieson, Fausset and Brown read the word as warm springs where the King James gives mules. Oholibamah, one of Esau's wives, comes out of this house.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
