Aner
(Heb., Aner’, , perhaps a boy), the name of a man and of a place.
1. (Sept. .) A Canaanitish chief in the neighborhood of Hebron, who, with two others, Eshcol and Mamre, joined his forces with those of Abraham in pursuit of Chedorlaomer and his allies, who had pillaged Sodom and carried Lot away captive (Gen 14:13; Gen 14:24), B.C. cir. 2080. These chiefs did not, however, imitate the disinterested conduct of the patriarch, but retained their portion of the spoil. SEE ABRAHAM.
2. (Sept. v. r. .) A city of Manasseh, given to the Levites of Kohath’s family (1Ch 6:70). Gesenius supposes this to be the same with the TAANACH SEE TAANACH (q.v.) of Jdg 1:27, or TANACH SEE TANACH (Jos 21:25).
Aner
Tristram suggests (Bible Places, p. 205) that this may, perhaps, be recognised in the modern village of Anim, near Taanuk, where are the remains of an ancient site; meaning, doubtless, the Ann marked on the Ordnance Map as three and a half miles southwest of Taanuk. Lieut. Conder, on the other hand, regards this place as the representation of Anem, and suggests the modern Ellar as the site of Aner (Tent Work, 2, 334). Neither suggestion seems to be called for.

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

Aner (1)
aner (, aner; Septuagint , Aunan; Samaritan Pentateuch, , anram, sprout, waterfall): One of the three confederates of Abraham in his pursuit after the four kings (Gen 14:13, Gen 14:14). Judging from the meanings of the two other names, Mamre being the name of the sacred grove or tree (Jahwist) and synonymous with Hebron (Priestly Code); and Eschol – a name of a valley (lit. grape cluster) from which the personal names are derived – it may be expected to explain the name Aner in a similar way. Dillmann suggested the name of a range of mountains in that vicinity (Comm. at the place and Rosen in ZDMG, XII, 479; Skinner, Genesis, 365).
