The Kenizzites are identified in various ways according to different sources: The Midrash (Bereishit Rabbah) and the Jerusalem Talmud offer multiple views, including that the Kenizzites may be the Nabataeans, Edomites, or the people of Asia Minor (situated north of Israel). These interpretations indicate that the Kenizzites are not necessarily Canaanite nations, but could be other nations further from the Holy Land.
