Leummim

DedanEnglish

People from Leumm(?) of the Patriarchs, only mentioned at Gen.25.3.

Leummim was one of the sons of Dedan, who was a son of Jokshan, born to Abraham and his wife Keturah (Genesis 25:3). He is mentioned in the genealogy of Abraham's descendants through Keturah, which is recorded after the death of Sarah. The Leummim are listed among the descendants of Jokshan, along with the Asshurim and Letushim. No further information is provided about Leummim or his descendants in the biblical record. It is likely that they became a tribe or clan that settled in the region of Arabia, as many of Abraham's descendants through Keturah are associated with Arab tribes.
