Mentioned among the sons of Seir

Anah is listed among the sons of the Horite Seir, chieftains in Edom.

20These are the sons of Seir the Horite, who lived in the land: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah,
אֵ֤לֶּה בְנֵֽי־שֵׂעִיר֙ הַחֹרִ֔י יֹשְׁבֵ֖י הָאָ֑רֶץ לוֹטָ֥ן וְשׁוֹבָ֖ל וְצִבְע֥וֹן וַעֲנָֽה׃ ‬
24These were the sons of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah. This is the Anah who found the hot springs in the wilderness while pasturing the donkeys of his father Zibeon.[^1] [^1]: The meaning of the Hebrew word rendered "hot springs" is uncertain; it has also been understood as "water" or "wild donkeys."
וְאֵ֥לֶּה בְנֵֽי־צִבְע֖וֹן וְאַיָּ֣ה וַעֲנָ֑ה ה֣וּא עֲנָ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר מָצָ֤א אֶת־הַיֵּמִם֙ בַּמִּדְבָּ֔ר בִּרְעֹת֥וֹ אֶת־הַחֲמֹרִ֖ים לְצִבְע֥וֹן אָבִֽיו׃ ‬
