Kenaz, an Edomite clan name and father of Othniel, Israel's first judge
A personal and clan name appearing in both Edomite and Israelite genealogies. Among Esau's descendants, Kenaz is a grandson of Esau and a chief of Edom (Gen 36:11, 15, 42). The name reappears in Judah's territory as the father of Othniel, Israel's first judge, who captured Debir and won Caleb's daughter Achsah as his wife (Josh 15:17; Judg 1:13). This dual usage hints at the complex kinship ties between Edom and southern Judah.

Senses
1. Kenaz — A proper name borne by at least two figures: an Edomite descendant of Esau listed among Edom's chiefs (Gen 36:11, 15, 42), and the father of Othniel the judge from the tribe of Judah (Josh 15:17; Judg 1:13; 3:9, 11). The overlap between Edomite and Judahite genealogies suggests intermarriage or shared clan identity in the southern Negev region. English standardizes as 'Kenaz,' while some transliterations preserve the qoph as 'Qenaz.' 11×
