Baruch S. Davidson: In Genesis 25:1-6, Abraham married a woman named Keturah and fathered six children. Abraham sent off the children whom she bore "eastward, to the Land of the East." They and their descendents are therefore not bound by the commandments of the Torah, which was given solely to the Jewish people, Isaac’s progeny. The only command that was given to Abraham and his children was circumcision.

Dov Krulwich: If Isaac was given "everything," what were the "gifts" given to the children of Ketura? Rashi explains as follows: "Our Rabbis explained, he gave them a name of God (meaning a Divine incantation) for impure uses." Commentaries on the Talmud explain this "name of God for impure uses" as "secrets of magic and powers of demons." The Daas Zekeinim explains this as "names of demons that are enlisted to do whatever their masters say." The Maharasha’s commentary on the Talmud says that Abraham learned black magic only to be able to defend against it, not to use it. Similarly, the Maharal says that Abraham taught these secrets to the children of Ketura only for defense (making Abraham perhaps the first teacher of defense against the dark arts). Whatever books the Zohar is referring to, we see the Talmud and Zohar presenting a consistent connection between Jewish teachings and Eastern mysticism, brought east by the children of Ketura. While some commentaries indicate that "The land to the east" might be areas just to the East of the Land of Israel, most understand this to be referring to the Far East.



Zohar VaYeira, paragraphs 80-89, Torah Shleima English Edition on Gen 25:6: Rabbi Abba said: I once was in a town where the children of the east live, and they taught me some of their ancient wisdom and showed me their books of wisdom…. I said to them, my children, all of this is similar to what we have in our Torah, but you should avoid these books, to avoid idolatry…. The ancient children of the east possessed a wisdom which they had inherited from Abraham, who had imparted it to the children of his other wife…

习近平: The Chinese people often say, the value of friendship lies in heart-to-heart communication. The resource endowments and comparative advantages of China and Iran are highly complementary. China is ready to join hands with Iran to renew the Silk Road spirit and create an ever better future for China-Iran relations. In the next stage, we will work closely with Iran to ensure the smooth implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action [JCPOA]. Pomegranate is well-liked in China for its crimson flower and bountiful seeds, for which it came to symbolize plentifulness and prosperity. Introduced from Iran to China centuries ago, the fruit bears witness to the history of friendly exchanges between the Chinese and Iranians along the Silk Road and augurs even more fruitful cooperation between our two countries. The implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action [JCPOA] will bring new opportunities for the growth of China-Iran relations.

||The Globalization of Teruahism||

בִּנְיָמִין נְתַנְיָהוּ: We will export our Revolution to the entire World. And Ever since, the regime’s brutal enforcers (Iran’s Revolutionary Guards) have done exactly that. And he clearly stated this go’el: He said our duty is to prepare the Way for what he called "the Globalization of teruahism." This bemoaning of the Iranian President of the spread of teruahism has got to be one of history’s Greatest displays of double≈talk: this is because we are heirs to a Global mission, which is tied to our raison d’etre; a Global mission which is tied to our very reason of being.
