Letushim (ethnic name; descendants of Abraham through Keturah)
The Letushim were a people group descended from Dedan, who was a grandson of Abraham through Keturah. Genesis 25:3 lists them among Abraham's descendants through his later marriage. The Septuagint renders the name as Λατουσιειμ. Nothing else is known about this group from biblical or extrabiblical sources. They represent one of many tribal peoples tracing ancestry to Abraham, though they lived outside the covenant line through Isaac.

Senses
1. sense 1 Genesis 25:3 lists the Letushim among Dedan's descendants in Abraham's non-Israelite lineage through Keturah. Modern translations preserve the name with minimal alteration: Spanish "letushim," French "le-Letushim," German "die-Letuschiter." This genealogical note shows the biblical writers' interest in Abraham's full family tree, even for descendants outside the primary covenant line.
