hunter. (1.) One of the sons of Eliphaz, the son of Esau. He became the chief of an Edomitish tribe (Ge 36:11,15,42).
(2.) Caleb's younger brother, and father of Othniel (Jos 15:17), whose family was of importance in Israel down to the time of David (1Ch 27:15). Some think that Othniel (Jg 1:13), and not Kenaz, was Caleb's brother.

Fausets
(See JEPHUNNEH.)
1. Son of Eliphaz, Esau's son. A duke of Edom (Ge 36:15,42). Founder of the family of Kenezites (adopted into Israel), of whom were Caleb and Othniel (Jos 14:14).
2. Caleb's grandson, but the "and" (even) before "Kenaz" in 1Ch 4:15 shows a name has fallen out.
3. Younger brother of Caleb and father of Othniel (Jos 15:17). But Keil with the Masorites translated "Othniel the son of Kenaz (i.e. the Kenezites) and (younger) brother of Caleb." Caleb gave him his daughter to wife, a marriage in Keil's view not forbidden in the law. "The Kenizzites" of Ge 15:19 either had ceased to exist before Joshua, or probably Moses added their name subsequently, as those descendants of Kenaz were adopted into Israel subsequently, to whom Caleb belonged.
