Kenezites

Kenezites

The Kenezites are a clan associated with the Hebrews in the Hebrew Bible. The Kenezites are descended from a man named Kenaz, and are mentioned briefly in the story of Abraham. According to the "Torah" and "Tanakh", the clan seems to have become a part of the tribe of Judah later in the history of the Jewish nation. The most famous Kenezite was Caleb, who accompanied Moses and Joshua in the exodus of the Hebrews from Egypt.
