'''Kenites''' were members of a tribe of itinerant metalsmiths related to the [[Midianites]] and the [[Israelites]] who plied their trade while traveling in the region of the Arabah (the desert rift valley extending from the [[Sea of Galilee]] to the [[Gulf of Aqaba]]) from at least the 13th century to the 9th century BC. The Kenites' name was derived from [[Cain]], whose descendants they were believed to be. The Kenites are mentioned several times in the Old Testament.

The father-in-law of [[Moses]], [[Jethro]], was a Kenite, and as priest-leader of the tribe he led in the worship of [[Yahweh]], whom Moses later revealed to the Hebrews as their own God whom they had forgotten. In the period of the judges (12th–11th century BC), it was a Kenite woman, [[Jael]], who killed the general of Israel's enemies, the [[Canaanites]].
