Strong's Lexicon Letushim: Letushim Original Word: לְטוּשִׁם Word Origin: Derived from the root לָתוּשׁ (latush), which is not explicitly defined in the Hebrew Bible but is related to the idea of being hammered or oppressed. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Letushim" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun related to genealogical records. Usage: The term "Letushim" refers to a people group mentioned in the genealogies of the Bible. They are identified as descendants of Dedan, who was a grandson of Abraham through his concubine Keturah. The name is used to denote a tribe or clan within the broader context of Abraham's descendants. Cultural and Historical Background: The Letushim are part of the genealogical records that trace the descendants of Abraham, highlighting the fulfillment of God's promise to make Abraham the father of many nations. The genealogies serve to establish the historical and theological context of the peoples surrounding Israel. The Letushim, like other tribes mentioned in these records, would have been part of the ancient Near Eastern milieu, contributing to the complex tapestry of ethnic and cultural interactions in the region.
