The sons born to Keturah, Abraham’s concubine This phrase introduces Keturah, who is described as Abraham's concubine. The Hebrew word for "concubine" is "pilegesh," which indicates a woman who, while not a wife, holds a recognized position in the household. Keturah's role as a concubine suggests a secondary status compared to Sarah, Abraham's wife, yet she is honored as the mother of several of Abraham's children. This highlights the patriarchal structure of ancient Israelite society, where lineage and inheritance were significant. Keturah's children are part of Abraham's broader legacy, emphasizing God's promise to make Abraham a father of many nations (Genesis 17:4). Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah The sons of Jokshan Sheba and Dedan Medan is very likely a mere repetition of Midian, due to a mistake of some ancient copyist. Genesis 25:3 adds, "And the sons of Dedan were Asshuriin, and Letushim, and Leummim;" which is, perhaps, an interpolation, as the three names are of a different form from the others in the section; and the chronicler would hardly have omitted them had he found them in his text. Midian.--The most important of these tribes. The Midianites dwelt, or rather wandered, in the peninsula of Sinai. Sheba, and Dedan.--See 1Chronicles 1:9, where these names appear as sons of Cush. The names may have been common to different tribes settled in different regions. Sheba (Assyr. Saba'a'a) Massa, Tema, and Adbeel, are described by Tiglath-pileser as lying "on the border of the sunset lands" Verses 32, 33, contain the list of Abraham's sons by Keturah, here called one of his concubines; but in Genesis, "a wife," and apparently not taken by Abraham till after Sarah's death (Genesis 25:1-4). The sons are six; the grandsons, two by the son placed second in order, and five by the son placed fourth in order; in all thirteen names. But the passage in Genesis gives also three great-grandsons, through the second grandson. All the thirteen are in the Authorized Version identical in the two places and in the Hebrew text; but in the Septuagint slight differences occur, as Zembram, Iexan, Madam, Sobak, Soe, Daidan, Sabai, Opher, Abida, and Eldada here, for Zombran, Iezan, Madal, Iesbok, Soie, Dedan, Saba, Apheir, Abeida, and Eldaga there. It is carefully stated in Genesis 25:5, 6, after the enumeration of Keturah's children, and in spite of her having been called "wife" in the first verse, that "Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac. But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his sou, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country."Parallel Commentaries ...
