Anem, a Levitical city (variant spelling of En-gannim)
This name appears in Chronicles as a Levitical city, though BDB notes it as a textual error for En-gannim ('spring of gardens'), which appears in the parallel passage in Joshua. The name likely arose through scribal confusion, with the initial element 'En' being dropped. The intended location is probably Jenin, a significant town in the northern part of Issachar's territory.
Senses
1. sense 1 — The city listed in 1 Chronicles 6:73 as a Levitical possession, representing a corrupted form of En-gannim from Joshua 19:21 and 21:29. The textual issue involves loss of initial syllables, creating this shortened form. Most translations either retain the Hebrew form or acknowledge the textual difficulty, recognizing that 'Anem' is likely a scribal error rather than an independent place name. 1×
