Shuah is a character from the biblical book of Genesis, specifically mentioned as one of the sons of Abraham and Keturah. He is often less recognized compared to his half-brothers, Isaac and Ishmael. Shuah's lineage is part of the broader narrative of Abraham's family, which plays a significant role in the history of the Israelites. In addition to his biblical mention, Shuah is also associated with the Shuhite people, who are believed to be descendants of him. The Shuhites are referenced in the Book of Job, where one of Job's friends, Eliphaz, is described as a Shuhite. This connection highlights the importance of Shuah in the context of ancient genealogies.
