  • Keturah: Genesis 25:1

    Genesis 25:1 says Abraham took another wife, Keturah, but 1 Chronicles 1:32 calls her Abraham’s concubine. The argument notes that a wife and a concubine are not the same thing, so the two books describe her status differently.

    Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah.

    Genesis 25:1

    The sons of Keturah, Abraham’s concubine: she bore Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. The sons of Jokshan: Sheba and Dedan.

    1 Chronicles 1:32
