What became of the descendents of Centura, Abrahams 2nd wife?

Question

Abraham's children by Cetura; his death and that of Ismael. Isaac hath Esau and Jacob twins. Esau selleth his first birthright to Jacob.


Book Of Genesis
Chapter 25
1 And Abraham married another wife, named Cetura: 2 Who bore him Zamran, and Jecsan, and Madan, and Madian, and Jesboc, and Sue. 3 Jecsan also begot Saba and Dadan. The children of Dadan were Assurim, and Latusim, and Loomin. 4 But of Madian was born Epha, and Opher, and Henoch, and Abida, and Eldaa: all these were the children of Cetura. 5 And Abraham gave all his possessions to Isaac.

6 And to the children of the concubines he gave gifts, and separated them from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, to the east country. 7 And the days of Abraham's life were a hundred and seventy-five years. 8 And decaying he died in a good old age, and having lived a long time, and being full of days: and was gathered to his people. 9 And Isaac and Ismael his sons buried him in the double cave, which was situated in the field of Ephron the son of Seor the Hethite, over against Mambre; 10 Which he had bought of the children of Heth: there was he buried, and Sara his wife.

(6) "Concubines"... Agar and Cetura are here called concubines, (though they were lawful wives, and in other places are so called,) because they were of an inferior degree, and such in scripture are usually called concubines.

11 And after his death, God blessed Isaac his son, who dwelt by the well named Of the living and seeing. 12 These are the generations of Ismael the son of Abraham, whom Agar the Egyptian, Sara's servant, bore unto him: 13 And these are the names of his children according to their calling and generations. The firstborn of Ismael was Nabajoth, then Cedar, and Adbeel, and Mabsam. 14 And Masma, and Duma, and Massa, 15 Hadar, and Thema, and Jethur, and Naphis, and Cedma.

16 These are the sons of Ismael: and these are their names by their castles and towns, twelve princes of their tribes. 17 And the years of Ismael's life were a hundred and thirty-seven, and decaying he died, and was gathered unto his people. 18 And he dwelt from Hevila as far as Sur, which looketh towards Egypt, to them that go towards the Assyrians. He died in the presence of all his brethren. 19 These also are the generations of Isaac the son of Abraham: Abraham begot Isaac: 20 Who when he was forty years old, took to wife Rebecca the daughter of Bathuel the Syrian of Mesopotamia, sister to Laban.

Answer 1

The most notable descendants of Abraham through Ketura are Krishna, Zoroaster and Buddha. Just as Moses, Jesus, Baha'u'llah (through Sarah), Muhammad andThe Bab (through Hagar) came through Abraham so did these three. Its not easy to tell that all these religions have a common Source unless you look to a genealogy chart showing the actual reality.

Answer 2

Good question! I skimmed thru the chapter and couldnt find anything. All I can say, is that verse 6 specifies that the children of Cetura were sent away with gifts, so all we can conclude here is that she went with her children (or obviously the other way around--Her children went away with her; with gifts). So, it really doesnt get specific, either way, we can know that Abraham was quite OLD at the time that he took her to wife.

Answer 3

According to the Zohar in Caballah they were given "gifts" which are considered to be incantations and sent east into the Indus Valley. There they became know as the "Brahman" a word that bears a striking resemblance to Abraham".

Answer 4

Ketura.Most of them just faded into obscurity like most of our relatives and ourselves.Midian though was a different story.His descendants pestered Israel all through the book of Judges and even were part of the Ishmaelites that took Joseph to Egypt in Genesis.
