The term is often used to denote the people or the region associated with this tribe. In the Bible, Kedar is frequently associated with tents, flocks, and a nomadic lifestyle, symbolizing a people known for their skills in archery and their dark tents made from goat hair.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The descendants of Kedar were a prominent Arab tribe in the Arabian Peninsula. They were known for their pastoral lifestyle, living in tents and raising livestock. Historically, the Kedarenes were recognized for their trade in sheep and goats, and they played a significant role in the trade routes of the ancient Near East. Their tents, made from black goat hair, became a symbol of their identity. The tribe of Kedar is often associated with the broader Ishmaelite confederation, which had interactions with the Israelites and other neighboring peoples.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/6937.htm">qadar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>perhaps "swarthy," a son of Ishmael, also his desc.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Kedar (12).<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">קֵדָר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a people</b></font> (<em>swarthy? black</em>-tented?); <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Κηδαρ</font>: <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>tribe of nomads in Arabian desert</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/21-16.htm">Isaiah 21:16</a>; <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/42-11.htm">Isaiah 42:11</a> (with verb feminine), <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/60-7.htm">Isaiah 60:7</a>, <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/2-10.htm">Jeremiah 2:10</a>; <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/49-28.htm">Jeremiah 49:28</a> (twice in verse); <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/27-21.htm">Ezekiel 27:21</a>; <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">בְּנֵיקֿ</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/21-17.htm">Isaiah 21:17</a>; <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">אָהֳלֵי ק</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/120-5.htm">Psalm 120:5</a>; <a href="/interlinear/songs/1-5.htm">Songs 1:5</a> (made of black goat-skins Jacob<sup>Beduinenleben (2), 41</sup> or black woven stuff Doughty<sup>Arab.
