'She bore to him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah' represents general divisions of the Lord's spiritual kingdom in heaven and on earth. 'And Jokshan begot Sheba and Dedan' means the derivatives from the first division. 'And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim' means the derivatives from the second division. 'And the sons of Midian, Ephah and Epher, and Enoch, and Abida and Eldaah' means the derivatives from the third division. 'All these were the sons of Keturah' means as regards matters of doctrine and the worship that sprang from these.
