Aner

Aner ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|eɪ|n|ər}}; {{Langx|he|עָנֵר}} ‘Ānêr ) refers, in the Hebrew Bible, to:

• One of three Amorite confederates of Abram in the Hebron area, who joined his forces with those of Abraham in pursuit of Chedorlaomer (Gen. 14:13, 24).
• A city of Manasseh given to the Levites of Kohath's family (1 Chr. 6:55). Most scribes agree that a scribal error is at play here, and that the city of "Aner" is the same as biblical Taanach.{{cite book|author=David Noel Freedman|title=Eerdmans Dictionary of the Bible|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=P9sYIRXZZ2MC&pg=PA63|year=2000|publisher=W.B.
