Bible references to the descendents of Anak - Who are the Anakim

'Num 13:28|But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. We even saw descendants of Anak there.'

'Num 13:33|We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.”'

'Josh 15:13|In accordance with the Lord’s command to him, Joshua gave to Caleb son of Jephunneh a portion in Judah—Kiriath Arba, that is, Hebron. (Arba was the forefather of Anak.)'
