An ancient people of Canaan, whose land God promised to the descendants of Abraham, Ge 15:19. They appear to have mingled with other Canaanites, and lost their distinctive name before the time of Joshua. They should be distinguished from the Kenezites, the children of Kenaz. Two men so named are mentioned in Bible history, both subsequent to the Kenizzites, Ge 36:15,42; Jos 14:6; 15:17.
