Exegesis
The clause kiryat arba avi ha-anak hi chebron {קִרְיַת אַרְבַּע אֲבִי הָעֲנָק הִיא חֶבְרוֹן | qi-ryāt ar-bāʿ ă-vî hā-ă-nāq hî ḥé-vrôn} is a nominal identification in which hi ‘it is’ confirms that Kiriath-Arba, the father of Anak, is Hebron. The nested construct forms highlight Hebrew’s capacity for dense noun modification and underscore divine-human partnership in land inheritance.
In context — Joshua 15:13
And to Caleb son of Jephunneh was given a portion in the midst of the sons of Judah, according to the command of the LORD to Joshua, Kiriath-Arba, father of the Anak; it is Hebron.
