of Kenaz
Kenaz: A personal name used for multiple figures in the Hebrew Bible, referring both to an Edomite chief and to two Israelites. The meaning of the name is uncertain but has been associated with the idea of hunting based on conjectured root connections; however, the evidence for this is limited. As a proper noun, it designates individuals and, secondarily, their descendants or associated clans.
