Catatan sejarah
---------------

Yosefus berkata bahwa "Abraham memutuskan untuk memukimkan mereka di koloni-koloni; dan mereka menempati wilayah *Troglodytis* dan negara Arabia Subur, sampai mencapai Laut Merah." Abraham dalam segala kemungkinan, bernuat untuk memastikan mereka jauh dari Ishak untuk menghindari konflik sesambil memenuhi perintah Allah untuk menyebar dan mendiami seluruh dunia.

Ia dianggap merupakan leluhur dari bangsa Madyan yang ditemukan dalam bagian-bagian berikutnya dari kitab suci Ibrani.
