Kenaz is a marginal figure in the Jewish scriptures. And yet for Pseudo-Philo, Kenaz’s importance rivals that of Moses and Joshua. Pseudo-Philo gives Kenaz a long and illustrious career unparalleled in the extant literature (LAB 25–28). But whereas past scholarship has seen the roots of Pseudo-Philo’s description of Kenaz in the language of Judg 1–3, this link is tenuous at best. Instead, the description of Kenaz is pieced together out of unrelated passages from the Jewish scriptures. This article explores the scriptural sources for Pseudo-Philo’s description of Kenaz. In short, Pseudo-Philo has not inherited Kenaz from tradition or exegesis but has invented him using the Jewish scriptures.

基纳兹在犹太圣经中是一个边缘人物。然而，对于伪菲洛而言，凯纳兹的重要性可与摩西和约书亚相提并论。伪菲洛（Pseudo-Philo）使凯纳兹（Kenaz）拥有漫长而杰出的职业，这是现存文献中无法比拟的（LAB 25–28）。但是，尽管过去的学术研究已经看到伪菲洛（Pseudo-Philo）用Judg 1-3语言对Kenaz的描述的根源，但这种联系充其量是微不足道的。取而代之的是，对Kenaz的描述是从犹太经文的无关段落中拼凑而成的。本文探讨了伪费洛（Pseudo-Philo）对Kenaz的描述的经文来源。简而言之，伪菲洛（Pseudo-Philo）并没有从传统或训ege法中继承凯纳兹（Kenaz），而是使用犹太经文发明了他。
