Kenan

Kenan (Cainan) was the son of Enosh and a fourth-generation descendant of Adam through the Sethite line (Genesis 5:9–14; 1 Chronicles 1:2). He lived 910 years according to the Masoretic text and fathered Mahalalel. He is included in Luke's genealogy of Jesus (Luke 3:37) as an ancestor in the line from Adam to Noah. Kenan's name and long lifespan are characteristic of the antediluvian genealogy, which frames the primordial history with figures of extraordinary longevity.
