Kenaz

Easton's Bible Dictionary

Hunter.
  • One of the sons of Eliphaz, the son of Esau. He became the chief of an Edomitish tribe (Genesis 36:11,15,42 ).

  • Caleb's younger brother, and father of Othniel (Joshua 15:17 ), whose family was of importance in Israel down to the time of David (1 Chronicles 27:15 ). Some think that Othniel (Judges 1:13 ), and not Kenaz, was Caleb's brother.

  • Caleb's grandson (1 Chronicles 4:15 ).
