Jokshan

Jokshan (Hebrew: יָקשָׁן yoqšān). According to the Bible he was a son of Abraham and his either wife^[1] or concubine^[2] Keturah, whom he wed after the death of Sarah.^[3] Jokshan had five brothers: Zimran, Medan, Midian, Ishbak and Shuah;^[4] as well as two half brothers: Ishmael and Isaac. He was Keturah's second son and Abraham's fourth.

Josephus records that "Abraham contrived to settle them in colonies; and they took possession of Troglodytis and the country of Arabia Felix, as far as it reaches to the Red Sea."^[5] Abraham in all probability, tried to keep them apart from Isaac to avoid conflict while fulfilling God's commission to spread out and inhabit the globe.^[6][7][8]

Jokshan became the father of Sheba and Dedan. Dedan had three sons, named Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.^[9]
