Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew term עֲנָקִי (Anakite) in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as the term is specific to the Hebrew context and narrative. However, the concept of giants or formidable beings can be loosely associated with Greek terms like γίγας (Gigas), which refers to giants in Greek mythology and literature. Usage: The term "Anakite" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to the descendants of Anak, who were inhabitants of the land of Canaan prior to the Israelite conquest. They are often associated with great stature and strength, and their presence in the land was a source of fear for the Israelites. Context: The Anakites, or Anakim, are mentioned in several passages of the Hebrew Bible as a formidable race of giants inhabiting the land of Canaan. They are first introduced in the context of the Israelite spies' report in Numbers 13:28, where the spies describe the inhabitants of the land as powerful and of great size, specifically mentioning the descendants of Anak. The Anakites are also referenced in Deuteronomy 9:2, where they are described as a people "great and tall," and in Joshua 11:21-22, where Joshua is said to have cut off the Anakim from the hill country, leaving none in the land of Israel except in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod. The presence of the Anakites in the land was a significant challenge for the Israelites, as their formidable reputation contributed to the fear and reluctance of the Israelites to enter the Promised Land. The Anakites are often associated with the Nephilim, another group of giants mentioned in Genesis 6:4. The term "Anakite" thus signifies not only a genealogical lineage but also a symbol of the challenges faced by the Israelites in their conquest of Canaan.
