Usage: Keturah is used as a proper name in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to a woman who became the wife of Abraham after the death of Sarah. Context: Keturah is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible as the second wife of Abraham. After the death of his first wife, Sarah, Abraham took Keturah as his wife. She bore him six sons: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah (Genesis 25:1-2). These sons became the progenitors of various tribes and peoples. Keturah's children are often associated with the peoples of Arabia and the surrounding regions. The narrative of Keturah highlights the continued fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham to make him a father of many nations. Keturah's role in the biblical narrative underscores the expansion of Abraham's lineage beyond Isaac, the son of promise. In 1 Chronicles 1:32, Keturah is referred to as Abraham's concubine, which may reflect the cultural practices of the time regarding secondary wives or concubines. The account of Keturah and her offspring illustrates the broader scope of Abraham's legacy and the diverse nations that emerged from his descendants.
