<p> (See [[Jephunneh]] .) </p> <p> '''1.''' Son of Eliphaz, Esau's son. A duke of [[Edom]] (&nbsp;Genesis 36:15; &nbsp;Genesis 36:42). [[Founder]] of the family of Kenezites (adopted into Israel), of whom were [[Caleb]] and [[Othniel]] (&nbsp;Joshua 14:14). </p> <p> '''2.''' Caleb's grandson, but the "and" (even) before "Kenaz" in &nbsp;1 Chronicles 4:15 shows a name has fallen out. </p> <p> '''3.''' [[Younger]] brother of Caleb and father of Othniel (&nbsp;Joshua 15:17). But Keil with the Masorites translated "Othniel the son of [[Kenaz]] (i.e. the Kenezites) and (younger) brother of Caleb." Caleb gave him his daughter to wife, a marriage in Keil's view not forbidden in the law. "The Kenizzites" of &nbsp;Genesis 15:19 either had ceased to exist before Joshua, or probably Moses added their name subsequently, as those descendants of Kenaz were adopted into [[Israel]] subsequently, to whom Caleb belonged. </p>

<p> (Heb. Kenaz', '''''קְנִז''''' , ''Hunter;'' Sept. '''''Κενέζ''''' , but in 1 Chronicles i, 36 v. r. '''''Κεζεζ''''' ), the name of three or four men. </p> <p> '''1.''' The last named of the sons of Eliphaz, Esau's firstborn; he became the chieftain of one of the petty Edomitish tribes of [[Arabia]] Petrsea (&nbsp;Genesis 36:11; &nbsp;Genesis 36:15; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 1:36). B.C. post 1905. "The descendants of Esau did not settle within the limits of Edom. The Ituraeans migrated northward to the borders of Damascus; [[Amalek]] settled in the desert between Egypt and Palestine; [[Teman]] went westward into Arabia. We are justified, therefore, in inferring that Kenaz also may have led his family and followers to a distance from Mount Seir. Forster maintains ''(Geography Of Arabia,'' ii, 43) that the tribe of Kenaz, or Al-Kenaz with the Arabic article prefixed, are identical with the ''Lcekeni'' or ''Lceeni'' of Ptolemy, a tribe dwelling near the shores of the [[Persian]] [[Gulf]] ''(Geog. 6:'' 7), and these he would further identify with the AEnezes (properly ''Anezeh),'' the largest, and most powerful tribe of Bedawin in Arabia. It is possible that the [[Hebrew]] [[Koph]] may have been changed into the Arabic ''Ain;'' in other respects the names are identical. The Inezes cover the desert from the [[Euphrates]] to Syria, and from Aleppo on the north to the mountains of Nejd on the south.. It is said that they can bring into the field 10,000 horsemen and 90,000 camel-riders, and they are lords of a district some 40,000 square miles in area (Burckhardt, Notes on the [[Bedouins]] and Wahabys, 1 sq.; Porter, Handbook for Syria and Palest. p. 536 sq.)" (Kitto). (See [[Kenizzite]]). </p> <p> '''2.''' Successor of Pinon, and predecessor of Teman among the later Edomitish emirs (" dukes"), who appear to have been contemporary with the [[Horite]] kings (&nbsp;Genesis 36:42; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 1:53). B.C. considerably ante 1658. (See [[Esau]]). </p> <p> '''3.''' The younger brother of Caleb and father of Othniel (afterwards judge), who married Caleb's daughter (&nbsp;Joshua 15:17; &nbsp;Judges 1:13); he had also another son, [[Seraiah]] (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 4:13). B.C. post 1698. On account of this double relationship Caleb is sometimes called a [[Kenezite]] (&nbsp;Numbers 33:12; &nbsp;Joshua 14:6; &nbsp;Joshua 14:14), whence some have maintained that he was the son rather than brother of Kenaz. </p> <p> '''4.''' Son of Elah, and grandson of Caleb, the son of Jephunneh (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 4:15, where the margin understands "even Kenaz," '''''וּקְנִז''''' , as a proper name ''Uknaz),'' B.C. post 1618. </p>
