ANER . 1 . One of the three Amorite chieftains, the other two being Mamre and Eshcol, who were in covenant with Abraham ( Genesis 14:13; Genesis 14:24 ). As Mamre is an old name for Hebron ( Genesis 23:2 ), and Eshcol is the name of a valley not far from Hebron ( Numbers 13:23 ), it is natural to suppose that Aner also was the name of a locality which gave its name to a Colossians 2 Colossians 2 . ( 1 Chronicles 6:70 only). A town of Manasseh, west of Jordan. The site is doubtful.
