Usage: Kenath is a proper noun referring to a city in the region of Bashan, which is mentioned in the context of the conquests of the Israelites. Context: Kenath is a city located in the region of Bashan, which is part of the territory east of the Jordan River. It is mentioned in the Bible in the context of the conquests of the Israelites. Specifically, Kenath is noted in the account of the conquests by Nobah, a member of the tribe of Manasseh. In Numbers 32:42, it is recorded: "And Nobah went and captured Kenath and its villages and called it Nobah after his own name." This indicates that Kenath was a significant settlement with surrounding villages, and it was renamed by Nobah to reflect his conquest. The city is part of the larger narrative of the Israelites taking possession of the land promised to them, and it highlights the expansion of the tribe of Manasseh's territory. Kenath's location in Bashan places it in a region known for its fertile land and strategic importance, which would have made it a valuable acquisition for the Israelites.
