Shuah

Meaning: ditch; swimming; humiliation · Male · 2 cross references

Shuah is one of Abraham's sons by Keturah and part of the wider family line that extends from Abraham beyond Isaac and Ishmael. He belongs to the non-Israelite branches of Abraham's remembered descendants. First appears in Gen 25:2.1

AI summary: Shuah matters because his cross references place him within Abraham's later family through Keturah, broadening the reader's view of how widely Abraham's household spreads in biblical memory. Even without a narrative scene, the entry contributes to Scripture's map of related peoples beyond the covenant line. Taken together, the material presents Shuah as an Abrahamic offshoot in the wider genealogy of nations and tribes.1
