The author is referring to the people group of the Kenites (described in [1:16](../01/16.md)) by association with its ancestor Kain. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [from the other Kenites]

The author is using one thing that Heber did to mean everything that he did to establish his residency in Zaanannim. (The author indicates in [4:17](../04/17.md) that Heber’s wife Jael had her own tent, so at the very least Heber set up more than one tent.) If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And he had moved to a place]
