Letushim
Early Patriarch
·
H3912
Letushim, a son of Dedan and descendant of Abraham and Keturah.
Letushim were a people descended from Dedan son of Jokshan, who was himself a son of Abraham and Keturah (Genesis 25:3; 1 Chronicles 1:32). They are listed alongside Asshurim and Leummim as the three 'sons of Dedan,' representing sub-tribal groupings within the Dedanite confederation of northern Arabia. Their name may derive from a root meaning 'sharpened' or 'hammered,' possibly connecting them to metalworking. They appear only in this genealogical register.
