Keturah bore Abraham six sons, and Yoqshan is listed among them. The genealogies in the Bible often serve to establish the lineage and heritage of significant figures, and Yoqshan's inclusion highlights the broader family of Abraham beyond Isaac and Ishmael. The descendants of Yoqshan are believed to have settled in the Arabian Peninsula, contributing to the diverse ethnic and cultural landscape of the region.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/3369.htm">yaqosh</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a son of Abraham and Keturah<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Jokshan (4).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">יָקְשָׁן</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>son of Abraham and Keturah</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/genesis/25-2.htm">Genesis 25:2</a>,3= <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/1-32.htm">1 Chronicles 1:32</a> (twice in verse);
