Matthew Poole and continuators on Genesis 36:24

24 And these are the children of Zibeon, both Ajah, and Anah: this was that Anah that found the mules in the wilderness, as he fed the asses of Zibeon his father.

So most understand the word Iemim, which is no where else used, and give this sense of it, that he found out the way of the generation of mules by the copulation of an Horse and a Mare. Others render it waters, that he found out some springs of water, which in those hot Countries were rare and pretious; or hot waters, some hot and medicinal springs. But the Chaldee renders it Giants, and the Samarit[illegible: 1+ letters] version Emims, a sort of Giants mentioned, Deut. 2. 10, 11. who also were Neighbours to the Horites here spoken of, as appears from Gen. 14. 5, 6. and therefore might, according to the manner of those times, make inroads one upon another. So Iemim is put for Emim, either by an Apocope of the first letter, or by the change of the Hebrew letter I[illegible: 1+ letters]d into Aleph, both which are frequent among the Hebrews. And the sense is, that Anah the Horite found out the Emims, that is he met with them or came upon them suddenly and smot[illegible: 1+ letters] them▪ In this sense the word finding is oft used, as Iudg. 1. 5. 1 Sam. 31. 3. Psal. 21. 8. I[illegible: 1+ letters]a. 10. 10.
