the Kenite, Cain; a tribal name for smithing nomads allied with Israel, possibly also a place name in Judah
This term functions primarily as a gentilic denoting the Kenite tribe, nomadic metalworkers allied with Israel through Moses' father-in-law. The same form also appears as a place name in southern Judah, possibly a Kenite settlement. The tribe originated from Midianite connections, settled among Amalekites in Canaan's south, and maintained friendly relations with Israel. Balaam prophesied concerning Cain/Kenite, while the Joshua passage lists ha-Kayin as a Judahite town. The name may derive from qayin (smith), reflecting the tribe's metallurgical specialization.

1. sense 1 — Numbers 24:22 prophesies against 'Cain' (Qayin) in Balaam's oracle, while Joshua 15:57 lists 'the Kayin' (ha-Qayin) among Judahite towns. Spanish uses only 'Caín' (Cain), while English distinguishes 'the Kenite/Cain' and 'the Kayin,' showing interpretive uncertainty whether these are tribe or place. The Numbers passage addresses the Kenite tribe prophetically, warning of eventual Assyrian captivity despite their secure dwelling. The Joshua passage lists a town name, possibly Kenite settlement in Judah's hill country. BDB connects both to the Kenite tribal group descended from Moses' Midianite father-in-law, suggesting the place name derives from tribal presence. The term bridges ethnography and geography, marking both people and their settlements. 2×
