Anub

In the genealogy of the tribe of Judah in 1 Chronicles, Anub appears as a son of Kos and sibling of Zobeba. He belongs to a branch of the tribe of Judah where several names carry possible botanical connotations – his father's name Kos means "thorn," while Anub's own name is linked by some scholars to the Hebrew word for "grape," although the etymology remains disputed. No stories or actions are connected with Anub in the biblical text, but his presence in the genealogy highlights how the family lists in Chronicles carefully documented each family's belonging within God's covenant people. Such registers had practical and theological significance by confirming inheritance rights, tribal affiliation, and continuity in God's redemptive history.
