    According to some theories and understandings, the Kenites are the descendants of Cain, - the first murderer. They are marked as "having the nature of Cain" and are considered false Jews, as opposed to true Jews which have the faith of Abraham *and actually practice that faith.*

    In the ancient Levant, the Kenites were a nomadic clan sent under Jethro to priest Midian.[1] According to the Hebrew Bible, they played an important role in the history of ancient Israel. The Kenites were coppersmiths and metalworkers.[1] Moses' father-in-law, Jethro, was a shepherd and a priest of the Kenites.[1] The Kenites apparently assimilated into the Israelite population,[2] though the Kenites descended from Rechab maintained a distinct, nomadic lifestyle for some time.

    The Kenites were the descendants of Kenan, but have been understood as the descendents of Cain, the son of Adam and Eve who murdered his brother, Abel.

    Moses apparently identified Jethro's god, El Shaddai, with Yahweh, the Israelites' god.[1] According to the Kenite hypothesis, Yahweh was originally the tribal god of the Kenites, borrowed and adapted by the Hebrews.[1][3]
