The name appears in the context of the descendants of Ishmael, the son of Abraham and Hagar. According to the biblical account, Leummim is one of the sons of Dedan, who is a descendant of Abraham through Keturah, Abraham's wife after Sarah's death.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>· <b><a href="/genesis/25-3.htm">Genesis 25:3</a> :</b> "Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. The descendants of Dedan were the Asshurim, the Letushim, and the Leummim."<br><br>In this passage, Leummim is listed as one of the groups or tribes that descended from Dedan. The context of this genealogy is significant as it outlines the broader family tree of Abraham, highlighting the various nations and peoples that emerged from his lineage. The mention of Leummim, along with the Asshurim and Letushim, suggests a tribal or clan identity that was recognized in the ancient Near Eastern context.<br><br><b>Historical and Cultural Context:</b><br><br>The genealogies in Genesis serve not only as records of lineage but also as a means of establishing the relationships between different peoples and nations. The descendants of Dedan, including the Leummim, are often associated with the Arabian Peninsula, reflecting the spread of Abraham's descendants into various regions.<br><br>The name "Leummim" itself is thought to be derived from a root meaning "peoples" or "nations," which aligns with the broader theme of the Abrahamic promise that he would be the father of many nations (<a href="/genesis/17-4.htm">Genesis 17:4</a>). This etymological insight underscores the role of Leummim as part of the fulfillment of God's covenant with Abraham.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b><br><br>From a theological perspective, the mention of Leummim and other descendants of Abraham through Keturah and Hagar highlights the expansive nature of God's promise to Abraham. While the primary focus of the biblical narrative is on the line of Isaac and Jacob, the inclusion of Ishmael's and Keturah's descendants serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness to His promises and His sovereign plan for all nations.<br><br>The genealogies, including the mention of Leummim, also emphasize the interconnectedness of the human family and the diverse ways in which God's purposes are worked out through different peoples and cultures. This reflects the biblical theme of unity and diversity within God's creation.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b><br><br>While the specific historical details about the Leummim are limited, their inclusion in the biblical genealogies underscores the broader narrative of God's unfolding plan through Abraham's descendants. The Leummim, as part of this lineage, contribute to the rich tapestry of biblical history and theology, pointing to the fulfillment of God's promises and the spread of His covenant blessings to all nations.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Leummim</span><p>countries; without water<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Leummim</span><p>(<i>peoples</i>), the name of the third of the descendants of Dedan son of Jokshan, (<a href="/genesis/25-3.htm">Genesis 25:3</a>) being in the plural form, like his brethren, Asshurim and Letushim.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>Peoples; nations, the last mentioned of the three sons of Dedan, and head of an Arabian tribe (<a href="/genesis/25-3.htm">Genesis 25:3</a>). <a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">LEUMMIM</span><p>le-um'-im (le'ummim): A Dedanite tribe of North Arabia, connected with the LETUSHIM (which see).<p><a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/3817.htm"><span class="l">3817. <b>Leummim</b> -- descendant of Dedan</span></a><br><b>...</b> <b>Leummim</b>. 3818 . descendant of Dedan.
