A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
unto Hebron--situated in the heart of the mountains of Judah, in the southern extremity of Palestine. The town or "cities of Hebron," as it is expressed in the Hebrew, consists of a number of sheikdoms distinct from each other, standing at the foot of one of those hills that form a bowl round and enclose it. "The children of Anak" mentioned in this verse seem to have been also chiefs of townships; and this coincidence of polity, existing in ages so distant from each other, is remarkable [VERE MONRO]. Hebron (Kirjath Arba, Gen 23:2) was one of the oldest cities in the world.

Zoan--(the Tanis of the Greeks) was situated on one of the eastern branches of the Nile, near the lake Menzala, and was the early royal residence of the Pharaohs. It boasted a higher antiquity than any other city in Egypt. Its name, which signifies flat and level, is descriptive of its situation in the low grounds of the Delta.

2 And Sarah [08283] died [04191] in Kirjatharba [07153]; the same is Hebron [02275] in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667]: and Abraham [085] came [0935] to mourn [05594] for Sarah [08283], and to weep [01058] for her.
5 And the daughter [01323] of Pharaoh [06547] came down [03381] to wash [07364] herself at the river [02975]; and her maidens [05291] walked [01980] along by the river's [02975] side [03027]; and when she saw [07200] the ark [08392] among [08432] the flags [05488], she sent [07971] her maid [0519] to fetch [03947] it.
8 Now there arose up [06965] a new [02319] king [04428] over Egypt [04714], which knew [03045] not Joseph [03130].
14 And Caleb [03612] drove [03423] thence the three [07969] sons [01121] of Anak [06061], Sheshai [08344], and Ahiman [0289], and Talmai [08526], the children [03211] of Anak [06061].
13 And unto Caleb [03612] the son [01121] of Jephunneh [03312] he gave [05414] a part [02506] among [08432] the children [01121] of Judah [03063], according [0413] to the commandment [06310] of the LORD [03068] to Joshua [03091], even the city [07151] of Arba [0704] [07153] the father [01] of Anak [06061], which city is Hebron [02275].
13 And unto Caleb [03612] the son [01121] of Jephunneh [03312] he gave [05414] a part [02506] among [08432] the children [01121] of Judah [03063], according [0413] to the commandment [06310] of the LORD [03068] to Joshua [03091], even the city [07151] of Arba [0704] [07153] the father [01] of Anak [06061], which city is Hebron [02275].
14 Hebron [02275] therefore became the inheritance [05159] of Caleb [03612] the son [01121] of Jephunneh [03312] the Kenezite [07074] unto this day [03117], because that he wholly [04390] followed [0310] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478].
12 Now therefore give [05414] me this mountain [02022], whereof the LORD [03068] spake [01696] in that day [03117]; for thou heardest [08085] in that day [03117] how the Anakims [06062] were there, and that the cities [05892] were great [01419] and fenced [01219]: if so be [0194] the LORD [03068] will be with [0854] me, then I shall be able to drive them out [03423], as the LORD [03068] said [01696].
9 And Moses [04872] sware [07650] on that day [03117], saying [0559], Surely the land [0776] whereon thy feet [07272] have trodden [01869] shall be thine inheritance [05159], and thy children's [01121] for [05704] ever [05769], because thou hast wholly [04390] followed [0310] the LORD [03068] my God [0430].
