Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the name קְנַז (Kenaz), which is Strong's Hebrew Number 7073.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew term קְנִזִי (Kenizzite) as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament.

Usage: The term "Kenizzite" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a group of people or a clan that is associated with Kenaz. It appears in the context of genealogies and territorial descriptions.

Context: • The Kenizzites are mentioned in the context of the land promised to Abram in Genesis 15:19, where they are listed among the peoples whose land God promised to Abram's descendants: "the land of the Kenizzites" (BSB).
• The Kenizzites are also associated with Caleb, a prominent figure in the Israelite conquest narratives. Caleb is described as a Kenizzite, indicating his descent from this group (Numbers 32:12; Joshua 14:6, 14). Caleb's association with the Kenizzites suggests that this group was integrated into the tribe of Judah.
• The Kenizzites are considered to be a clan or family group that was part of the larger Canaanite population before the Israelite conquest. Their integration into Israelite society, particularly through Caleb, highlights the complex interactions and assimilations that occurred during the settlement of Canaan.
• The Kenizzites, as a distinct group, are not frequently mentioned in the biblical text, but their inclusion in genealogical and territorial lists underscores their historical presence and significance in the biblical narrative.
