Jokshan is a son of Abraham and Keturah and the father of Sheba and Dedan. He belongs to the wider Abrahamic family network that spreads beyond Isaac and Israel into neighboring peoples. First appears in Gen 25:2.1
AI summary: Jokshan matters because the cross references place him within the broader fruitfulness promised to Abraham, while also tracing lines that connect to Arabian and trade-linked peoples in the biblical world. His branch widens the map of Abraham's descendants beyond the covenant line carried through Isaac. Taken together, the material presents Jokshan as a secondary but important Abrahamic ancestor whose descendants help populate Israel's wider historical setting.1
