“And these are the children of Zibeon; both Ajah, and Anah: this was that Anah that found the mules in the wilderness, as he fed the asses of Zibeon his father.”
The sons of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah. This is the Anah who discovered the hot springs in the desert while he was grazing the donkeys of his father Zibeon. The parenthetical about Anah discovering hot springs is one of the most curious details in the genealogy — a mundane achievement recorded with the same care as the tribal leadership. The application: the biblical genealogies record the interesting, the peculiar, and the historically significant with equal care.
