Explanation preview

This verse names the six sons Keturah bore to Abraham after Sarah's death, listing them as part of the closing account of Abraham's life. The narrator is summarizing the full family line, and the names matter because they become peoples: Midian, for instance, is the ancestor of the Midianites, who appear later in the story of Moses.
