many teachers teach that the Kenites of the Bible were the descendants of Cain. It is very possible that this is so, but it is also possible that the Kenites mentioned in the Bible are from more than one person called Cain and therefore from different tribes of Kenites. The Kenites are around today. Anyone surnamed Cain could be called a Kenite, but that would not necessarily mean they were descendants of Cain. Of course, they could possibly be descendants of Cain. It is difficult to say. Having said all of this, I still believe that the Kenites in the Bible were the descendants of Cain, the son of Adam

I don't know what "human instruction books" are, but the Kenites were a nomadic Middle Eastern tribe, which Genesis lists as one of the early tribes of Canaan. The name Kenite pertains to copper smiths; so this group of metal-smiths traveled throughout the mineral bearing region of Wadi Arabah, originally settled along the south western shore of the Dead Sea. They were descendants of the Midianites, becoming skillful metal craftsmen. Some scholars believe that the theology of Moses was influenced by the Kenites through his father-in-law Jethro, and that this was the origin of the innovation of the god Yahweh, which is the Kenite hypothesis.
