耶和華的事，不謀利沒有版權

21. So they went up and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob as men come to Hamath.

22. And they went up by the south and came to Hebron where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the sons of Anak were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)

23. And they came to the valley of Eshcol and cut from there a branch with one cluster of grapes. And they carried it between two men upon a staff, and some of the pomegranates and of the figs.

24. The place was called the valley of Eshcol because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from there.

25. And they returned from scouting out the land after forty days.

26. And they left and came to Moses and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh. And they brought back word to them, and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.

27. And they told him and said, “We came to the land where you sent us, and surely it flows with milk and honey. And this is the fruit of it.

28. However, the people that dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are walled, very great. And also we saw the children of Anak there.

29. The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south, and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountains. And the Canaanites dwell by the sea and by the riverside of Jordan.”

30. And Caleb stilled the people before Moses and said, “Let us go up at once and possess it, for we are well able to overcome it.”

31. But the men that went up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.”

32. And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had scouted out to the children of Israel, saying, “The land through which we have gone to scout it out, is a land that eats up those who live in it. And all the people whom we saw in it were men of great stature.

33. And there we saw the giants, the children of Anak of the giants. And we were in our own sight like grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.”

 (A Faithful Version)

21. 這支探測隊奉命去那地查探，是從尋，這地方開始直至利合，是哈馬人居住的地方。

22. 探測隊朝南面的希伯崙探測，那裡有亞衲族的兒子亞希幔、示篩、達買等族人居住。

23. 他們在希伯崙一個分支以實各人的居住地，在那處砍下一根長木，掛上葡萄、石榴和無花果，兩位男丁抬著。

24. 那地方被稱為以實各谷，居住的人是以色列(雅各)之後。

25. 過了約四十天，探子回報

26. 從以實各回到巴蘭曠野一處名為加低斯的地方，見摩西、亞倫和以色列全會眾，向眾人展示那地方出產的果子。

27. 回報：我們去的地方，果然是流奶與蜜之地。這是那地的果子。

28. 然而，居住在這片土地上的民眾是強大的，城市堅固有牆圍住，有阿納族的孩子。

29. 當時亞瑪力人住在這片南方土地，其中還有赫人、耶布斯人、亞摩利人住在山區。迦南人住在近海，約旦住在兩河流域。

30. 迦勒此時在摩西面前說鼓勵的話：我們有足夠能力，是可以完全得勝。

31. 與迦勒同去的人說：不能去，因為他們比我們強大。

32. 於是回報所偵察得來的情況，說：所偵察過的那地，人非常強大，似乎無人能敵。

33. 住在那裡是一群巨人，是亞納人的後代。在他們眼中，以色列人就像水草蜢。

有關亞納族人的歷史：

In the Hebrew Bible, עֲנָק (Anak) refers to a famous biblical figure associated with a race of giants. To answer your question directly: No, Anak and his descendants do not belong to Jacob’s lineage.

Instead, they are completely separate people who actually became bitter enemies of Jacob’s descendants (the Israelites).

Who is Anak (ענק)?

Anak is the forefather of the Anakim (עֲנָקִים), a formidable race of people described in the Old Testament as being of towering stature—often referred to as giants.

• The Name: In Hebrew, Anak (עֲנָק) means “neck” or “necklace,” implying they were “long-necked” or exceptionally tall.
• Lineage: According to the Book of Joshua, Anak was the son of Arba, who was considered the greatest man among the Anakim. Anak had three sons: Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.
• Origin: The Bible connects them to the ancient pre-flood Nephilim (Genesis 6:4, Numbers 13:33). They were original inhabitants of the Land of Canaan long before Israel got there.

Jacob’s Lineage vs. Anak’s Lineage

Jacob and Anak come from entirely different family trees:

Feature	Jacob (ישראל)	Anak (ענק)
Lineage	Descendant of Abraham and Isaac	Descendant of Arba (often associated with Canaanite/Cushite origins)
People Group	The Israelites (The 12 Tribes of Israel)	The Anakim (Ancient race of giants)
Role in Biblical History	Received the Promised Land from God	Inhabited the Promised Land and fought against the Israelites

The Encounter

When Moses sent 12 spies to scope out the Promised Land, they encountered the sons of Anak in Hebron. The spies were terrified and told the Israelites, “We saw the descendants of Anak there… We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes” (Numbers 13:28-33). Years later, Joshua and Caleb eventually defeated the Anakim and drove them out of the territory.

• Origin: The Bible connects them to the ancient pre-flood Nephilim (Genesis 6:4, Numbers 13:33). They were original inhabitants of the Land of Canaan long before Israel got there.

按這個說法，不就是亞伯拉罕之後？

若從宏觀，人是被耶和華創造，從而洐生出現今的人類。原是一族，從巴別年代，經過不知多少年日，形成了今日世畀的各色人等，有些仍在很原始生活方式的民族，這些年間也在亞馬遜叢林中被發現。以此觀之，人，在耶和華眼中就沒有分別。

那麼在加沙地帶的原居民，哈瑪同哈瑪斯同是一族是可能性很高。若以當時探測到是原居民，就是今日加沙的哈瑪斯，他們有同一個特點，頑梗心志強大，當日如是，今日一樣。雅各原先也住在迦南，因旱災離開。

當日以色列人是在另尋新的生活，有財無力，人多卻沒有武器，在人的理智分析，探子的個人判斷是正確。只有約書亞反對，是因為他明白一事，行事在人，成事在大能者。這是超乎常識的判斷，就是今日在教會當中，有約書亞想法的人不多。 一般人作決定的時候，大多沒有給對大能者足夠信心。

你也許是九位探子中的一位，也許是有信心行前的一位，只有自己曉得？耶和華是不變，人可以在經驗後作出改變，事實耶和華是可以給人去驗証，方法只有一途：相信：和你一家都必得救。它不在將來，就在現在，在不斷印證的事實中領受得到。
