Aner (/ˈeɪnər/; Hebrew: 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.[1]
