(Heb. Yokshan', יָקְשָׁן, narer; Sept. Ι᾿εζάν v.r. Ι᾿εξάν or Ι᾿εκσάν ), the second son of Abraham and Keturah, whose sons Sheba and Dedan appear to have been the ancestors of the Sabaeans and Dedanites, that peopled a part of Arabia Felix (Genesis 25:2-3; 1 Chronicles 1:32-33). B.C. cir. 2020. "If the Keturahites stretched across the desert from the head of the Arabian to that of the Persian Gulf, (See Dedan), then we must suppose that Jokshan returned westwards to the trans-Jordanic country, where are placed the settlements of his sons, or at least the chief of their settlements, for a wide spread of these tribes seems to be indicated in the passages in the Bible which make mention of them.
