𐤁/𐤊𐤍𐤏𐤍𐤉
Kenaani
against the Canaanite
Denotes an inhabitant or native of the region of Canaan (כְּנַעַן, Kenaan), broadly referring to the ethnic groups who resided in that land prior to and during early Israelite settlement. In later and extended contexts, especially in prophetic and post-exilic texts, the term shifts in meaning to signify 'merchant' or 'trader,' likely based on the association of Canaanites with commercial activity.
