The Land Moses Was Promised Was Occupied
Genesis 15:18, “In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:”Genesis 15:19 (KJV), “The Kenites [H:Keni], and the Kenizzites [H:K'nizi], and the Kadmonites, [H:Kadmoni] At this point in this bible story, Abraham has zero children. (Ishmael is not born until Genesis 16)
How is it possible for God to name people in a part of the story when they didn't exist?
Also, with an entire Earth to divvy up, it's odd that God would not just scoop the Israelites up and out to somewhere else.
Kenezites Of Tribe Of Judah
“Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the Lord.” (Numbers 32:12 KJV) This Caleb is the one who worked closely with Moses and Joshua. This is not Hur of Caleb of Hezron.Lineage: (Iru, Elah & Naam) of Caleb of Jephunneh … of Judah of Jacob Israel (& Leah) (1 Chronicles 4) How does God give Abraham land that is called by the name, “Kenezite,” in tribe of Judah before Jacob Israel and Judah were born?
The answer becomes much clearer, below.
Kenites Of Tribe Of Judah
1 Chronicles 2 contains the generations and genealogy of Judah.1 Chronicles 2:55, “And the families of the scribes which dwelt at Jabez; the Tirathites, the Shimeathites, and Suchathites. These are the Kenites that came of Hemath, the father of the house of Rechab” Shimeathites Jonadab [H:Yonadav] of Shimeah/Shimea/Shammuah/Shammua of David (& Bathsheba/Bathshua of Ammiel/Eliam) of Jesse of Obed of Boaz (& Ruth) of Salmon (& Rachab) of Nahshon of Amminadab of Ram of Hezron of Pharez of Judah (& Tamar) of Jacob Israel (& Leah) of Isaac (& Rebekah) of Abraham (& Sarah) of Terah of Nahor of Serug of Reu of Peleg of Eber of Salah of Arphaxad of Shem of Noah of Lamech of Methuselah of Enoch of Jared of Mahalaleel of Cainan of Enos of Seth of Adam (& Eve) of The Creator. (1 Chronicles 3) (2 Samuel 13:3) (2 Samuel 5) (1 Chronicles 14)
Rechab of Hemath (Father of Kenites)
Rechab of Hemath of ?? of Judah of Jacob IsraelThe Bible Says Midianites Were Kenites
The first possibility is that this is incorrect. We already know that Midian was the son of Abraham (& Keturah). In order for Midianites to be Kenites, Hemath, the father of the Kenites would have to come between Abraham and Midian in that lineage. For more on Midianites, see “Who Were & Who Are Assyrians & Syrians? Unity Consciousness #459” and “Moses, The Lawgiver Breaking Sensibility & Decency, Unity Consciousness #475” The second possibility is that this is correct. Judges 1:16 and Judges 4:11 both state that Moses father-in-law was a Kenite when many other verses states he is a priest of Midian. However, it could be true that Moses actually married a Kenite who were Ethiopians just like the Midianites. And since those Kenites have been said to come out of the tribe of Judah, this makes all those before Judah, Ethiopians. This coincides with previous posts on Abraham, The Chaldeans and The Cushite Ethiopians and others found under keyword religion and posted within the past 3 months. The following verses supports this possibility. Judges 1:16, “And the children of the Kenite [H:Keini], Moses' father in law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which lieth in the south of Arad; and they went and dwelt among the people.” Judges 4:11, “Now Heber the Kenite, which was of the children of Hobab, the father in law of Moses, had severed himself from the Kenites [H:Kayin], and pitched his tent unto the plain of Zaanaim, which is by Kedesh.”Who Is The Namesake Of The Kenites & Kenizzites
Who is the person after which the Kenites and Kenizzites are named. All family groups are named after a person by using that person's name. Not much information is provided to connect the family names of the Kenites in 1 Chronicles 2:55 with a person or lineage. This is yet another oddity of this bible in an area of great importance.The Midianites & Kenites Were Canaanites
The KJV word “Kenite” is translated from “kayin,” “keini,” and “k'nizi”The KJV word “Cain is translated from “kayin”.
The KJV word Kenites is translated from “kayin,” “kini,” and “kinim” Based on this information in combination with other posts and all understanding acquired to date, I've once again reached the same conclusion even after starting from different premises and starting points. It is clear that the Midianites, Kenites and Canaanites were the same people. In order for Midianites and the tribe of Judah to have given birth to the Kenites, the father of the Kenites must come before Midian.
This means that Abraham would have to be a Kenite/Canaanite because he is the connection to both Midian and Judah. Chaldean, Babylon, Canaan and more, were all the same people.
Reading bibles with this understanding helps things make a lot more sense. We shall go one step further. A family name of a group of people is named after a person. Based on the Hebrew words used in the above verses, the closest name is Cain.
This means that Cain is the father of the Canaanites and therefore of Abraham. Cain is translated from Kayin. The word Kayin appears in Judges 4:11 and in Numbers 24:22 but is translated as Kenites and Kenite respectively.
