In the genealogical context of <a href="/1_chronicles/1.htm">1 Chronicles 1</a>, Kenaz is listed among the chiefs of Edom, indicating a position of leadership or prominence. The name Kenaz is also linked to Caleb's family in the tribe of Judah, suggesting a possible connection or shared ancestry between the Edomites and Israelites. This highlights the complex relationships between the descendants of Esau and Jacob. The name Kenaz means "hunter" or "snare," which may reflect the characteristics or roles of those who bore the name. <p><b>Teman</b><br>Teman is both a person and a place in the Bible. As a person, Teman is a grandson of Esau, and as a place, it is a region in Edom known for its wise men, as referenced in the book of Job and the prophecies of Obadiah. The wisdom of Teman became proverbial, indicating a center of learning or counsel. Geographically, Teman is often associated with the southern part of Edom, near modern-day Jordan. The mention of Teman in prophetic literature, such as in Jeremiah and Amos, often symbolizes the judgment against Edom, reflecting the broader biblical theme of divine justice. <p><b>Mibzar</b><br>Mibzar is one of the lesser-known chiefs of Edom, and his name appears only in genealogical records.
