Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root לָטַשׁ (latash), meaning "to sharpen" or "to hammer."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Letushim, as it is a specific proper noun related to a genealogical listing in the Hebrew Bible. Usage: The term Letushim appears in the genealogical records of the Bible, specifically in the context of the descendants of Abraham through Keturah. Context: Letushim is mentioned in the genealogical listings found in the Book of Genesis. In Genesis 25:3, the Letushim are identified as descendants of Abraham through his concubine Keturah. Keturah bore Abraham several sons, and Letushim is listed among the descendants of Dedan, one of Keturah's sons. The passage reads: "Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. The descendants of Dedan were the Asshurim, the Letushim, and the Leummim" (Genesis 25:3, BSB). The Letushim, along with the Asshurim and Leummim, are considered to be tribes or groups that settled in the Arabian Peninsula. The specific historical and geographical details about the Letushim are sparse, and they are not mentioned elsewhere in the biblical narrative. Their inclusion in the genealogical record underscores the broad scope of Abraham's descendants and the fulfillment of God's promise to make Abraham the father of many nations.
