“And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)”
They went up through the Negev and came to Hebron, where Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, were living. (Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.) — Hebron, the city of the patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob buried there), is presented as inhabited by descendants of Anak (Anakim), giants whose very presence seems to deny the patriarchal inheritance to their descendants.
