Keturah (Hebrew: קְטוּרָה, Qəṭūrā, possibly meaning "incense"; [1] Arabic: قطورة) was a wife [2] and a concubine [3] of the Biblical patriarch Abraham. According to the Book of Genesis, Abraham married Keturah after the death of his first wife, Sarah. Abraham and Keturah had six sons. [2]
Keturah was one of Abraham’s wives. The Rabbis describe her as a woman of virtue, for which she was worthy of being joined to Abraham. Though the Torah describes them separately, the rabbis often identify Keturah with Hagar, who they state came back to remarry Abraham after Sarah’s death.
