Strong's Lexicon Qenath: Kenath Original Word: קְנָת Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to acquire or possess Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Kenath, as it is a specific location name in the Hebrew Bible. Usage: Kenath is a city mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically in the context of the territories east of the Jordan River. It is noted as one of the cities captured by Nobah, a descendant of Manasseh, who renamed it after himself (Numbers 32:42). Cultural and Historical Background: Kenath was located in the region of Bashan, an area known for its fertile land and strong cities. The city was part of the territory allotted to the half-tribe of Manasseh. During biblical times, this region was significant for its strategic location and resources. The capture and renaming of Kenath by Nobah reflect the common practice of asserting control and influence over a region by renaming its cities.
