Jokshan (Arabic: يقشان, Hebrew: יָקשָׁן yoqšān) was, according to the Bible, a son of Abraham (Avraham) and his wife[1] or concubine[2] Keturah, whom he wed after the death of Sarah.
[3] Jokshan had five brothers: Zimran, Medan, Midian, Ishbak and Shuah;[4] as well as two half brothers: Ishmael (Ismail) and Isaac (Ishaq).
Josephus records that Abraham contrived to settle them in colonies; and they took possession of Troglodytis and the country of Arabia Felix, as far as it reaches to the Red Sea.
Dedan had three sons, named Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.
[6] In his "History of the Prophets and Kings", Tabari says that the wife of the North Arabian ancestor Adnan, Mahdad bint Laham, was a descendant of Jokshan (Yaqshan).
