::summary Biblical city ::

Anab (, Anav) is a city mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. It is mentioned in the Book of Joshua as one of the cities in the Judaean Mountains from which Joshua expelled the Anakim.

In the Hebrew Bible

Anav is mentioned in Joshua 11:21: Later, Joshua 15:50 lists Anav as one of several sites incorporated into the hilly parts of the territory of the Tribe of Judah.

In later sources

Anab was mentioned in a Jewish document, written in Hebrew, self-dated to the "4th year after the destruction of the house of Israel", which scholars put at 140 CE, four years after the Roman suppression of the Bar Kokhba revolt.
