This site's exposition

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 while pasturing his father Zibeon's donkeys. Jerome reports the question much debated among the Hebrews. Jamieson, Fausset and Brown note that the word behind it is read as warm springs, where the King James gives mules.

This site's exposition

These are the children of Anah

This Anah is the son of Zibeon, and a second Anah stands among the sons of Seir at verse 20. The Dishon here is his son, and another Dishon is Seir's son at verse 21. The names run in the family.

The record, by era
