Kenya
In the Bible, "Kenya" does not appear as a term or name; however, the name "Kenite" is relevant and may be what you are referring to. The Kenites were a group of people mentioned in the Old Testament, primarily associated with the region of Midian. They are believed to be descendants of Cain, as the name itself is derived from the Hebrew word "Qayin," meaning "smith" or "forge," which is related to the name Cain (Genesis 4:17). The Kenites lived in close proximity to the Israelites and are noted for their interactions with them.One notable figure from the Kenites is Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, who is described as a priest of Midian (Exodus 3:1). The Kenites are also mentioned in the context of their alliance with Israel, as seen in Judges 1:16, where they are depicted as having settled among the people of Judah. Their relationship with Israel showcases themes of integration and cooperation during the early years of the Israelite conquest of Canaan. Thus, while "Kenya" itself is not a biblical term, the Kenites represent a significant group within the biblical narrative, exemplifying the complex relationships among ancient peoples in the region.
