1c) (Hiphil) to cause to possess; (from the Ryan Thomas article Academia.edu) "By examining the total range of attestation of the verb ק נ ה in West Semitic we have been able to discover that the correct translation of the epithet " ק נ ה ARETZ " is “Owner/Possessor of the land,” not “Creator” or “Begetter.” The common assumption that ק נ ה in West Semitic means “to create” is actually a scholarly heritage of interpretation related to a few select biblical passages going all the way back to the Septuagint translation, which has colored and shaped the way that Northwest Semitic inscriptions in our time have been read and understood.”
