Brown-Driver-Briggs Expanded Definition

2. locationהַקַּ֫יִן in southern Judah (a settlement of II.׳ק

1 ?); — Joshua 15:57, [Ζακαν]αειμ, A [Ζανω] Ακειμ, ᵐ5^L [Ζανου] Ακεν; possibly= Yª†în southeast from Hebron [Rob^{BR ii.85}] (see Buhl^{Geogr. 162f.} who, however, compare קִינָה Joshua 15:22).

III. קַ֫יִן proper name, masculine Cain, Kain eldest son of Adam and Eve (explanation Genesis 4:1 from קָנָה acquire; but in fact = II. ׳ק, as heros eponymos, according to We^compare11 Sta^{G 285 ff.} Bu^{Urg. 193} Holz^{Genesis 50f.} especially Sta^{ZAW xiv (1894), 250 ff.}; xv (1895), 157 ff., Che^{Ency.Bib.CAIN}); — ׳ק Genesis 4:1,2,3,5 (twice in verse); Genesis 4:8 (twice in verse); Genesis 4:9,13,15 (twice in verse); Genesis 4:16,17, קָ֑יִן Genesis 4:6; Genesis 4:24; Genesis 4:25 (all J).

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

קַיִן m.

(1) a spear, 2 Samuel 21:16.

(2) [Cain], pr.n.

(a) of the fratricide son of Adam. Allusion is so made to the etymology in Genesis 4:1, that קִין would seem to be the same as קָנָה, “she bare Cain (a creature [rather a possession, see קָנָה ]), and said, I have created [rather possessed or acquired] a man by the help of Jehovah” [of course this is the true derivation].

(b) of the tribe of the Kenites, Numb. 24:22 Judges 4:11 see קֵינִי.
