Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Kenizzite" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific ethnic designation in the Hebrew Bible.

Usage: The term "Kenizzite" refers to a member of a clan or tribe associated with Kenaz. In the Bible, the Kenizzites are mentioned as one of the groups inhabiting the land promised to Abraham's descendants. The term is also used to describe individuals who are descendants of Kenaz, such as Caleb, who is referred to as a Kenizzite.

Cultural and Historical Background: The Kenizzites were one of the many Canaanite tribes inhabiting the land of Canaan before the Israelite conquest. They are mentioned in the context of the land promised to Abraham in Genesis 15:19. The Kenizzites, like other Canaanite tribes, were eventually assimilated or displaced by the Israelites. Caleb, a notable figure in the Israelite community, is identified as a Kenizzite, indicating that some Kenizzites integrated into Israelite society.
