Arba

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the Italian commune, see Arba, Italy.

Arba (ארבע) (meaning "four") was an Anakite mentioned in Joshua 14:15 as the "greatest man among the Anakites" and the father of Anak.

The Bible also mentions that the city of Hebron used to be called Kirjath-arba (city of Arba) after Arba, although a modern day settlement exists east of Hebron named Kiryat Arba.
