Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Kenaanah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper Hebrew name. However, the Greek term Χαναάν (G5477) refers to Canaan, the region from which the name Kenaanah is derived.

Usage: Kenaanah is a proper name used in the Hebrew Bible. It is associated with a specific individual, Kenaanah, who is noted as the father of Zedekiah, a false prophet during the reign of King Ahab of Israel.

Cultural and Historical Background: The name Kenaanah is linked to the broader context of Canaan, a region and people frequently mentioned in the Old Testament. Canaan was the land promised to the descendants of Abraham and was known for its diverse cultures and religions, often in opposition to the worship of Yahweh. The name Kenaanah itself may reflect the cultural and religious tensions present in the biblical narrative, as it is associated with a false prophet opposing the true prophets of Yahweh.
