“And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.”
The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were descendants of Keturah. Isaiah 60:6 mentions Ephah — one of Midian's sons — in the context of nations bringing their wealth to Zion. The genealogy of Abraham through Keturah ends with the summary in verse 4, before verse 5 makes the critical covenant distinction. The application: the genealogy establishes the breadth of Abraham's family before the text sharpens its focus on the covenant line.
