Usage: Shuach is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a person. It is the name of one of Abraham's sons through Keturah, as mentioned in the genealogies.

Shuach, as a son of Abraham through Keturah, represents one of the many branches of Abraham's descendants.

The genealogies in Genesis highlight the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham to make him a father of many nations.
