How important are the Lineage of Abraham, Issac, and Yacob, and their Ancestors Noah and His Families.

What Does the Name Kenan/QananMean? 

The name of Kenan holds significance as it appears in Adam’s genealogy, listed in Genesis’ early chapters. Kenan is mentioned in the lineage of Seth, the third son of Adam and Eve, listed in Genesis 5.

The name Kenan has Hebrew origins, and its meaning can be interpreted in several ways. In Hebrew, Kenan is thought to derive from the root word qanan, which can be translated to mean “to acquire,” a more active possessing, as in “to come to possess.” Another possible meaning of qanan is as a weaver or composer. If the name is construed from the Hebrew verb qonen, it designates a type of dirge, which can also imply sorrow. In this sense, the name Kenan would mean “lamenter”—not the song itself but its composition.

Since the Bible doesn’t give any information about Kenan, we don’t know if any of these meanings, or a combination, fit his character or life. Maybe Kenan composed dirges, or perhaps he acquired great wealth or land.

Genesis 5 outlines the genealogy of Adam’s descendants, focusing on the righteous line of Seth. Cain had murdered his brother, Abel, and while Cain was cursed, Adam and Eve had a third son, Seth. Kenan is mentioned as the son of Enosh and the father of Mahalalel. The passage provides a formulaic structure, detailing the age of each patriarch at the birth of their son, along with their subsequent lifespan. Kenan is noted to have fathered Mahalalel at 70 and lived for 910 years.

  *** METHUSELAH quite Possible could be the first LEVITE TRIBE. *** 

As mentioned, Methuselah is mentioned in the New Testament in the gospel of Luke, but he is most prominently discussed in the Hebrew Bible.

Let’s take a closer look at how Methuselah is described. 

Genesis 5:21–27:

“When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah.”

This provides the basis of our understanding of Methuselah’s place in the family tree. It continues:

‍“When Methuselah had lived 187 years, he became the father of Lamech. After he became the father of Lamech, Methuselah lived 782 years and had other sons and daughters. Altogether, Methuselah lived a total of 969 years, and then he died.”

More straightforwardly, 1 Chronicle 1:3 lists Adam’s lineage all the way down to Noah.

“​​Adam, Seth, Enosh, 2 Kenan, Mahalalel, Jared, Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech, Noah.”

Luke 3:23–38 traces the lineage more exhaustively, recounting all the sons of the family tree from Jesus to Adam (condensed here from Noah to Adam). 

The Prophets of the Old Testament and their roles to Protect and Correct the Children of Yacob.

The Prophets of the Old Testament and their Roles.

I Believe that the Prophets of the Bible were Chosen for a Specific Purpose and Specific Reason Most of the Prophets that were chosen were after the Age of 40 but, some of the Minor Prophets of the ages of 20 years old they were apprentices of the Major Prophets.

What reasons does the Bible give for why the tribe of Levi was chosen to have the priesthood and temple duties?

In Genesis 49:5-7 when Jacob was telling his children what will happen to them, he told Simeon and Levi that they were violent and that they would be scattered among the descendants of Yacob, and they would be dispersed among Israel. Could this have been something like a prophecy, and could this be the reason?

Priests and Levites - Encyclopedia of The Bible - Bible Gateway

COURSE OF PRIESTS AND LEVITES. Because of the great increase in the number of priests, David divided them into twenty-four relays (1 Chron 24:1-19). The priests were expected to serve from twenty years of age (1 Chron 23:6, 27). Sixteen courses were allotted the descendants of Eleazar and eight to those of Ithamar, his brother. Apart from the main festivals, when all the courses were active, each course ministered for a week, changes being made on the Sabbath before the evening sacrifice (2 Kings 11:5, 9). Courses were determined by casting lots.

The Prophets were under Mostly of the Scribes and the Teachers of the Law under the High Priesthood were the ones that Chose the Prophets and the Minor Prophets. The High Priesthood had to a special offering and fasting for the Heavenly Father to Speak to The High Priest to order the chosen prophets. ***
