Kenaan

Kenaan is a figure mentioned in the Hebrew Bible and the Quran. In the Bible, Kenaan is presented as the son of Ham and grandson of Noah. He is known as the father of the Canaanites, a group of people who inhabited the land of Canaan. The Book of Genesis records his lineage as part of the descendants of Noah after the Great Flood.

The Quran also references Kenaan, often referring to him as the son of Luth (Lot) or sometimes as the son of Ham. The narrative in the Quran often aligns with the biblical account, portraying him as a descendant of Noah. The land of Canaan is frequently mentioned in both religious texts as a significant territory with prophetic and historical importance. The people of Canaan are depicted in various biblical narratives, often in contexts related to the Israelites' conquest of the land. Kenaan's role in these genealogies serves to explain the origin of the Canaanite people and their association with the land later central to Israelite history.
