Letushim

Letushim was a son of Dedan and grandson of Abraham through Keturah, representing one of the Arabian peoples descended from Abraham. His name appears in Genesis as part of the genealogical record of Abraham's descendants through his second wife.

Overview

Letushim is mentioned briefly in Genesis 25:3 as one of the sons of Dedan, who was himself a son of Abraham's wife Keturah. The genealogy traces the descendants of Abraham after Sarah's death, showing how God's blessing extended through multiple family lines. These descendants became various Arabian tribes and peoples.

Key Scriptures

"And Dedan had sons: Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim" (Genesis 25:3, ESV).

"Abraham gave all he had to Isaac. But to the sons of his concubines Abraham gave gifts, and while he was still living he sent them away from his son Isaac, eastward to the east country" (Genesis 25:5-6, ESV).

Application

Reflect on how God's faithfulness extends to all people groups and generations, reminding us that the gospel's reach transcends ethnic and genealogical boundaries.
