Berean Strong's Lexicon Qeni or Qini: Kenite Original Word: קֵינִי Word Origin: Derived from קַיִן (Qayin), meaning "possession" or "smith." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Kenites in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as the term is specific to the Hebrew context and narrative. Usage: The term "Qeni" or "Qini" refers to the Kenites, a nomadic tribe mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. They are often associated with the Midianites and are known for their skills in metalworking. The Kenites are depicted as allies and relatives of the Israelites, particularly through Moses' father-in-law, Jethro, who was a priest of Midian and a Kenite. Cultural and Historical Background: The Kenites were a group of people who lived in the region of the Sinai Peninsula and the Negev. They were known for their craftsmanship, particularly in metalworking, which was a valuable skill in the ancient Near East. The Kenites had a significant relationship with the Israelites, as seen in their interactions with Moses and later with the tribe of Judah. Their nomadic lifestyle and skills in metallurgy made them an important part of the socio-economic landscape of the time.
