Lists and Questions Top 10 Lessons from Genesis 25How could Abraham father additional children at such an advanced age (Genesis 25:1–6)? In Ezekiel 25:12-14, is there verifiable evidence that Edom suffered the precise judgment described, or might this be an unfulfilled prophecy? What evidence supports or challenges the historical existence of the tribes mentioned in Genesis 25:1-4? Why does God allow genocides to happen, including those commanded in the Bible (Numbers 31:17-18)?(3) Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan.--But Sheba and Dedan are also described as the sons of Raamah, the son of Cush (Genesis 10:7). We have here proof that these genealogies are to a certain extent geographical, and that whereas these districts at first were peopled by a Hamitic race, they were subsequently conquered by men of the Semitic stock, who claimed Abraham for their ancestor. Most probably, therefore, we ought not to regard Sneba and Dedan as the names here of men. As men they were the sons of Raamah, but when the sons of Jokshan wrested these two countries from the family of Cush, they called them sons of their progenitor, because the dominant portion of the population had sprung from him. They appear as countries in Jeremiah 6:20; Jeremiah 49:8; Ezekiel 25:13; Ezekiel 27:15; Ezekiel 27:22; Ezekiel 38:13, &c. . . . Verse 3. - And Jokshan begat Sheba, - probably the Sabeans: Job 1:15; Job 6:19 (Keil) - and Dedan - probably the trading people mentioned in Jeremiah 25:23 (Keil).
