It is also the name of Caleb's younger brother, who is the father of Othniel, the first judge of Israel. The name is associated with strength and leadership, reflecting the roles these individuals played in biblical narratives.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, names often carried significant meaning and were sometimes indicative of a person's character or destiny. The Kenizzites, associated with Kenaz, were a clan that lived in the land of Canaan before the Israelite conquest. The mention of Kenaz in genealogies highlights the interconnectedness of various tribes and families in the biblical narrative, emphasizing the fulfillment of God's promises through diverse lineages.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an Edomite, also two Isr.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Kenaz (11).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">קְנַז</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>in Edom</b></font>, <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Κενεζ</font>: son of Eliphaz <a href="/interlinear/genesis/36-11.htm">Genesis 36:11</a> = <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/1-36.htm">1 Chronicles 1:36</a>; <a href="/interlinear/genesis/36-15.htm">Genesis 36:15</a> compare <a href="/interlinear/genesis/36-42.htm">Genesis 36:42</a> = <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/1-53.htm">1 Chronicles 1:53</a>, and father of Othniel <a href="/interlinear/joshua/15-17.htm">Joshua 15:17</a>; <a href="/interlinear/judges/1-13.htm">Judges 1:13</a>; <a href="/interlinear/judges/3-9.htm">Judges 3:9</a>,11(see Di<sup>Gn</sup> Bu RS 9.Comm. <a href="/interlinear/judges/1-13.htm">Judges 1:13</a> GFM <a href="/interlinear/judges/1-13.htm">Judges 1:13</a>ff.
