Subjects in this Topic:
LETUSHIM.—One of the Dedanite tribes in N. Arabia (Gen_25:3), the others being Leummim and Asshurim (wh. see). In this verse LXX [Note: Septuagint.] adds two other tribes; but in the parallel passage, 1Ch_1:32, the sons of Dedan are omitted altogether both in MT [Note: Massoretic Text.] and in most MSS of LXX [Note: Septuagint.] . None of the three tribes has been identified.
