The ten principal nations inhabiting this area are here enumerated. Of these five are Kenaanite, and the other five probably not. The first three are new to us, and seem to occupy the extremities of the region here defined. The Kenite dwelt in the country bordering on Egypt and south of Palestine, in which the Amalekites also are found [Numbers 24:20-22](../../../kjv/numbers/24/20-22); [1 Samuel 15:6](../../../kjv/1-samuel/15/6). They dwelt among the Midianites, as Hobab was both a Midianite and a Kenite [Numbers 10:29](../../../kjv/numbers/10/29); [Judges 1:16](../../../kjv/judges/1/16); [Judges 4:11](../../../kjv/judges/4/11). They were friendly to the Israelites, and hence some of them followed their fortunes and settled in their land [1 Chronicles 2:55](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/2/55). The Kenizzite dwelt apparently in the same region, having affinity with the Horites, and subsequently with Edom and Israel [Genesis 36:11](../../../kjv/genesis/36/11), [Genesis 36:20-23](../../../kjv/genesis/36/20-23); [Joshua 15:17](../../../kjv/joshua/15/17); [1 Chronicles 2:50-52](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/2/50-52). The Kadmonite seems to be the Eastern, and, therefore, to hold the other extreme boundary of the promised land, toward Tadmor and the Phrat. These three tribes were probably related to Abram, and, therefore, descendants of Shem. The other seven tribes have already come under our notice.
