Word Origin: Derived from the root קֶדֶם (qedem), meaning "east" or "ancient."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew term קַדְמֹנִי (Kadmonite), as it is a specific proper noun referring to a particular group of people in the Old Testament context.

Usage: The term "Kadmonite" is used in the context of the peoples inhabiting the land promised to Abraham and his descendants. It appears in the Old Testament as part of the list of nations that God promised to give to Abraham's descendants.

Context: The Kadmonites are mentioned in the Bible in Genesis 15:19 as one of the ten nations whose land was promised to Abraham's descendants. The passage reads: "the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites," (Genesis 15:19, BSB). The Kadmonites are considered to be one of the ancient peoples living in the region of Canaan, possibly located in the eastern part of the land. Their exact identity and location remain uncertain, as they are not frequently mentioned in other historical or biblical records. The name "Kadmonite" suggests a connection to the east, aligning with the Hebrew root קֶדֶם (qedem), which can denote "east" or "ancient times." This connection may imply that the Kadmonites were an ancient people residing in the eastern territories of Canaan.
