Tosefta zu Schoftim 1:16
וּבְנֵ֣י קֵינִי֩ חֹתֵ֨ן מֹשֶׁ֜ה עָל֨וּ מֵעִ֤יר הַתְּמָרִים֙ אֶת־בְּנֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֔ה מִדְבַּ֣ר יְהוּדָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֖ר בְּנֶ֣גֶב עֲרָ֑ד וַיֵּ֖לֶךְ וַיֵּ֥שֶׁב אֶת־הָעָֽם׃
Die Söhne des Keni, des Schwiegervaters Moses, waren gezogen von der Palmenstadt samt den Söhnen Jehuda in die Wüste Jehuda, im Süden von Arad, und blieben wohnen bei dem Volke.
Tosefta Bikkurim
Rabbi Yehuda says, [among] all the converts, everyone brings [first fruits] but they do not recite the declaration. [However,] the Kenites, the descendants of the father-in-law of Moses (Judges 1:16), bring [first fruits] and recite the declaration, as it is said (Num. 10:32), "[Moses said to Hovav, son of R'uel the Midyanite, Moses's father-in-law] ... It will be that if you go with us ... [from the goodness that God does to us, we will do good unto you]."
