Kenezites
The
Kenezites are a clan associated with the
Hebrews in the
Jewish Torah and
Tanakh (the
Christian Old Testament). 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.
