 Keturah is referred to in Genesis as " another wife " of Abraham ( Hebrew : אִשָּׁה Translit . : ' išāh Translated : woman , wife ) .

 Biblical scholar Richard Elliott Friedman dismisses the identification of Keturah with Hagar as " an old rabbinic idea " for which " there is no basis ... in the text " , and also notes that the idea was rejected by traditional commentators such as Ibn Ezra , Ramban , and Rashbam . The Book of Jubilees also supports the conclusion that Keturah and Hagar were two different people , by stating that Abraham waited until after Hagar 's death before marrying Keturah .

 In Luke 1 : 31 – 38 Mary learns from the angel Gabriel that she will conceive and bear a child called Jesus through the action of the Holy Spirit . When Mary is due to give birth , she and Joseph travel from Nazareth to Joseph 's ancestral home in Bethlehem to register in the census ordered by Caesar Augustus . While there Mary gives birth to Jesus , and as they have found no room in the inn , she places the newborn in a manger ( Luke 2 : 1 – 7 ) . An angel announces the birth to some shepherds , who go to Bethlehem to see Jesus , and subsequently spread the news abroad ( Luke 2 : 8 – 20 ) . After the presentation of Jesus at the Temple , Joseph , Mary and Jesus return to Nazareth .
