Subjects in this Topic:
KADMONITES.—One of the nations whose land was promised to Abram’s seed (Gen_15:19). Their habitat was probably in the region of the Dead Sea. The fact that Kedemah is said to be a son of Ishmael (Gen_25:15) renders it likely that they were Ishmaelite Arabs. Ewald, however, regarded Qadmoni as equivalent to Bene Qedhem (‘Sons of the East’)—which seems to have been a general name applied to the Keturahite tribes (see Gen_25:1-6).
