 * It isn't that similar in Hebrew.


 * There is no relation. Str1977 (talk) 15:39, 3 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Canaan was fathered by Ham Canan is not mentioned in Genesis as the father of Shelah. David (talk) 19:50, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

Merge with Kenan
I suggest that this article will be mrged with Kenan under the article-name Kenan with a redirection to Kenan from Cainan since it is the same person with different spellings of the name.KMA &quot;HF&quot; N 08:46, 14 February 2007 (UTC)


 * This is about Canan, supposedly son of Arpachshad, son of Shen. Canan and Kenan are not the same person. Kenan is son of Enosh. David (talk) 19:50, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

Dropping words from a quote
Dear Mr IP,

Here is your chance to clearly state why you object to my changes and which words I am supposedly dropping from which quote! There is only one quote in this article and the only thing I did was re-formatting a comment about this quote into a footnote.

Please state your case here or cease your edit-warring. Str1977 (talk) 15:21, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Edit warrimg changes to quote
Str1977, your changes to the quote do not make sense. The words "from Cainan" were dropped from the quote of Smith rendering it unintelligible, and the explanatory footnote is a sentence fragment. So I do not see this as an improvement to the previous structure. 172.56.35.26 (talk) 20:43, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Had you clearly spelled out the problem - one that can be easily overlooked if viewed in source text - we wouldn't have been going back and forth.
 * Now, any other objections - I can't see anything wrong! Str1977 (talk) 23:03, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

I did the best I could to explain so don't put it on me and you still don't see the problem in the footnote? At least restore the word "what" to the beginning so it makes a sentence. Thanks 172.56.35.26 (talk) 01:56, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Your complaints were pretty obscure and linked with blanket reverting. And if you continue this way, hinting at errors instead of spelling them out clearly, we'll get nowhere. BTW, if you see a mistake, no one will keep you from correcting it yourself. There was no "what" missing in the note, which I have now rectified. Str1977 (talk) 07:25, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
