Kenaz

Meaning: a hunter

This was the name of three biblical men.

  1. One of the sons of Eliphaz, the son of Esau

    He became the chief of an Edomitish tribe (Genesis 36:11, 15, 42).

  2. Caleb's younger brother, and father of Othniel (Josh. 15:17), whose family was of importance in Israel down to the time of David (1 Chr. 27:15).

    Some think that Othniel (Judg. 1:13), and not Kenaz, was Caleb's brother.

  3. Caleb's grandson (1 Chr. 4:15).
