kē´na , kē´ne ( קנז , ḳenaz "hunting"):

(1) A "duke" of Edom, grandson of Esau (Genesis 36:11 , Genesis 36:15 , Genesis 36:42; 1 Chronicles 1:36 , 1 Chronicles 1:53 ).

(2) Father of Othniel (Joshua 15:17; Judges 1:13; Judges 3:9 , Judges 3:11; 1 Chronicles 4:13 ).

(3) The unidentified ḳenaz of 1 Chronicles 4:15 , who appears to be a descendant of (2). There is, however, some difficulty with the passage here.
