16. the children of the Kenite, Moses' father-in-law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah —called "the Kenite," as probably descended from the people of that name ( Numbers 24:21 ; Numbers 24:22 ). If he might not himself, his posterity did accept the invitation of Moses ( Numbers 24:22- : ) to accompany the Israelites to Canaan.
