<p> <strong> KENIZZITES </strong> . A clan named from an eponymous ancestor, <strong> [[Kenaz]] </strong> . According to J [Note: Jahwist.] ( Joshua 15:17 , Judges 1:13 ), <strong> [[Caleb]] </strong> and <strong> [[Othniel]] </strong> were descended from him. (The Inference, sometimes made, that Kenaz was a brother of Caleb, arose from a misunderstanding of these passages.) R [Note: Redactor.] in Joshua 14:6; Joshua 14:14 definitely calls Caleb a Kenizzite, as P [Note: Priestly Narrative.] does in Numbers 32:12 . R [Note: Redactor.] also ( [[Genesis]] 15:18-21 ) counts the [[Kenizzites]] among the pre-Israelitish inhabitants of Palestine. P [Note: Priestly Narrative.] in Genesis 36:42 enrols Kenaz among the ‘dukes’ of Edom, while a Priestly supplementer counts him both as a ‘duke’ and as a grandson of [[Esau]] ( Genesis 36:11; Genesis 36:16 ). The Chronicler names Kenaz as a grandson of Esau ( 1 Chronicles 1:36 ), and also as a descendant of [[Judah]] ( 1 Chronicles 4:13-15 ). The probable meaning of all these passages is that the Kenizzites overspread a part of [[Edom]] and southern Judah before the [[Israelitish]] conquest and continued to abide there, a part of them being absorbed by the Edomites, and a part by the tribe of Judah. This latter portion embraced the clans of Caleb and Othniel. </p> <p> [[George]] A. Barton. </p> | <p> <strong> KENIZZITES </strong> .

<p> An ancient people of Canaan, whose land God promised to the descendants of Abraham, Genesis 15:19 . They appear to have mingled with other Canaanites, and lost their distinctive name before the time of Joshua. They should be distinguished from the Kenezites, the children of Kenaz. Two men so named are mentioned in [[Bible]] history, both subsequent to the Kenizzites, Genesis 36:15,42; Joshua 14:6; 15:17 . </p> | <p> An ancient people of Canaan, whose land God promised to the descendants of Abraham, Genesis 15:19 .
