என்பவர்கள் (Gen 25:4)

பற்றி · About

Ephah is mentioned in the genealogy of Abraham as one of the sons of Midian, who was born to Abraham through his concubine Keturah (Gen.25.4; 1Ch.1.33). Ephah is listed among the descendants of Abraham, highlighting the diverse lineage that emerged from the patriarch. The sons of Midian, including Ephah, are mentioned after Abraham had sent them away to the east with gifts, separating them from his son Isaac (Gen.25.6). This suggests that Ephah and his brothers settled in the region east of Canaan. The genealogy in Chronicles repeats the information from Genesis, confirming Ephah's place in the family line (1Ch.1.33). No further details are provided about Ephah's life, his specific role, or the people group that may have descended from him. His mention in the genealogies serves to demonstrate the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham that he would be the father of many nations and to provide a record of the various branches of Abraham's descendants.
