Anem or Anim was a Levitical city in Israel allocated to the Gershonites, according to the Hebrew Bible, from the land of the tribe of Issachar ( 1 Chronicles 6:73) (6:58 in some Bibles). In the parallel location in the Book of Joshua, the name En-gannim or Engannim appears, and the two names may refer to the same town. [1] [2]
The location of Anem is unknown. [2]
William F. Albright suggested that Anem was the same location as En-gannim, the two spellings being variants of a single original site ʕen-ʕonam. [3] But Hagen Martino (in 1907), claimed that Anem is 'probably a distinct site', near En-gannim. [4]
