KENAZ

Singular form of the name of the Kenizzite tribe, whose land was promised to Abraham’s descendants (Gn 15:19). The appearance of three men by this name in the OT may be explained by the spread of the Kenizzite tribe over Edom and southern Judah before the Israelite conquest.

1. Grandson of Esau and chieftain of Edom (Gn 36:11, 15, 42; 1 Chr 1:36, 53).

2. Father of Othniel (Jos 15:17; Jgs 1:13; 3:9-11) and Seraiah (1 Chr 4:13).

3. Caleb’s descendant (1 Chr 4:15). See Kenizzites.
