I. קִינָה proper name, of a location in southern Judah (a settlement of II. קַיִן

Word Origin: Derived from the root קוּן (kun), which means "to lament" or "to mourn."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew proper noun קִינָה (Kinah), as it is a specific geographical name unique to the Hebrew Bible and does not have a direct equivalent in the Greek New Testament.

Usage: The term "Kinah" is used in the context of a geographical location within the territory allotted to the tribe of Judah. It appears in the list of cities in the southern region of Judah.

Context: • Kinah is mentioned in the Old Testament as one of the cities in the southern part of the tribal allotment of Judah. It is listed among other cities in Joshua 15:22: "Kinah, Dimonah, and Adadah." The exact location of Kinah is not definitively known today, but it is understood to have been situated in the Negev region, which is characterized by its arid and desert-like conditions. The mention of Kinah in the biblical text highlights the extensive territory that was allocated to the tribe of Judah, reflecting the tribe's significant role and presence in the southern part of the land of Israel. The name Kinah, derived from a root meaning "to lament," may suggest historical or cultural significance, possibly indicating a place associated with mourning or lamentation, although the specific reasons for this association are not detailed in the biblical text.
