However, genealogical names in the Greek Septuagint may have transliterations or adaptations, but these are not typically assigned separate Strong's numbers. Usage: Jokshan is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It appears in genealogical contexts, specifically in relation to the descendants of Abraham. Context: Jokshan is a biblical figure mentioned in the genealogies of the Book of Genesis. He is identified as a son of Abraham through Keturah, Abraham's concubine, as recorded in Genesis 25:1-2: "Now Abraham had taken another wife, named Keturah, and she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah." Jokshan is noted as the progenitor of two Arabian tribes, Sheba and Dedan, as further detailed in Genesis 25:3: "Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan." These tribes are often associated with regions in the Arabian Peninsula, indicating Jokshan's significance in the broader narrative of Abraham's descendants and their spread across the ancient Near East. The mention of Jokshan in 1 Chronicles 1:32 reiterates his place in the genealogical record, underscoring the importance of Abraham's lineage through Keturah.
