Following Sarah's death, Abraham took Keturah as his wife (Genesis 25:1; I Chronicles 1:32). The Torah and the Bible give no context for Keturah and are silent on her origins. But some non-canonical books mention that she was either the daughter of a Canaanite Turkish king, or one of Abraham's servants. All Keturah's sons were Hebrews, but neither Israelites nor Jews.

• After the death of Sarah, Abraham took to wife Kentôrah (Keturah), the daughter of Yaktân, the king of the Turks. |The Book of the Bee, Chap 25|

• And it was at that time that Abraham again took a wife in his old age, and her name was Keturah, from the land of Canaan. |The Book of Jasher 25:1

• And Abraham took to himself a third wife, and her name was Keturah, from among the daughters of his household servants, for Hagar had died before Sarah. |The Book of Jubilees, Chap 19:11|

She gave birth to Zimram, Joksan, Medan, Midian, Jisba and Suah. Midian, father of the Midianites, was the 4th son of Keturah and Abraham. His descendants mixed with Ishmael's and became part of the Arab population*. Considering Ishmael and Midian were half-brothers, there had certainly been a fusion between the two nations through intermarriage and the merging of their traditions, behaviors and activities. Thus, the Bible and other non-canonical writings use the names "Ishmaelites" and "Midianites" interchangeably. In fact, Genesis 37:36 states that the "Midianites" sold Joseph to Potiphar in Egypt, while Genesis 39:1 indicates that Joseph was sold to Potiphar by the "Ishmaelites".

• Genesis 39:1 "Meanwhile, Joseph had been taken down to Egypt, where an Egyptian named Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there.."

• "And Ishmael and his sons, and the sons of Keturah and their sons, went together and dwelt from Paran to the entering in of Babylon in all the land which is towards the East facing the desert. And these mingled with each other, and their name was called Arabs, and Ishmaelites." |The Book of Jubilees, Chap. 20:12-13|

• Genesis 37:36 "Meanwhile, the Midianites sold Joseph in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard."

​

Abraham sent the sons of Ketura to the East. The East can be interpreted as the Middle East, India, or East Asia (China, Japan, Macau, Mongolia, North Korea, South Korea and Taiwan).

• Genesis 25.6 But while he was still alive, Abraham gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them away from his son Isaac to the land of the east.."

• Jeremiah 49:28 "Concerning Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon defeated, this is what the LORD says: “Rise up, advance against Kedar, and destroy the people of the east!"

Some scholars, such as Al-Edrisi, the greatest medieval geographer, believed that the Semites who migrated to Minor Asia mingled with the descendants of Magog and made up the Magogians: Inner and Central Mongolia, including much of North and South China, Korea, Japan, Aleuts and Inuit. |Géographie d'Édrisi 2, Dixième Section pg 349|

As with the Ishmaelites, the natives of India and East Asia were dark-skinned. Archaeological studies have revealed the presence of a large Black population in ancient China, and reports about mighty East Asian kingdoms ruled by Black peoples are frequent in "Chinese documents". Unfortunately, this fact about Asia is taboo.
