EPHAH (Person)

1. Son of Midian, an offspring of Abraham through his concubine Keturah (Gn 25:4; 1 Chr 1:33). Isaiah mentions him as a gold trader (Is 60:6). Some manuscripts mention two sons of Midian with the same name, Ephah, but that is an error of misspelling.

2. Caleb’s concubine, who bore him three sons (1 Chr 2:46).

3. Jahdai’s son from Judah’s tribe (1 Chr 2:47).
