She was called Keturah because her deeds were as beautiful as incense (‫ ) ְקטֹ ֶרת‬and because she tied (‫קָ טְ ָרה‬, Aramaic for ‘tied’) her opening, for she was not intimate with any man from the day she separated from Abraham.” Upon this Rashi there are some questions: (i) Being that (-Rashi, Genesis 3:8), “I come but to explain the simple meaning of the verse,” where is Rashi’s need or proof to say that Keturah is Hagar?! She was called Keturah because her deeds were as beautiful as incense!” However, being that Abraham was modest and holy in his ways, how could he have taken back Hagar as a wife, if during her, “reverted to the idols of her father’s house,” she was with another man?! Therefore, Rashi sees Keturah to must also be telling us, “she tied her opening -she was not intimate with any man from the day she separated from Abraham.” On a mystical level: (i) Our verse states ‫ וַיֹּ֧ סֶ ף‬-v’yoisef, which means, “And Abraham ‘added on’ and took a wife…,” meaning that Abraham took a new woman as a wife, so how can this new wife Keturah be his previous wife Hagar? However, the Husk itself had to be, “Drive out this handmaid and her son.” After his circumcision, Abraham was now able to refine and elevate the evil itself through teshuvah, which then transformed it to (-Yoma 86b), “intentional sins are counted for him as merits.” And this is why: (i) Our verse uses the term v’yoisef Abraham, because his transformation of the “refuse - Three Impure (totally opaque) Husks, is to bring about a totally new addition. As the Tzemach Tzedek (-Link) comments on Rachel naming her son ‘yoseph,’ because of her prayer, “May G-d add on (yosef) for me yet another son,” mystically meaning, “add on a son from (the transformation of) an ‘other(-side; impurity)’.” And the term v’yoisef Abraham, also applies to Abraham himself. For in order to be able --to not only draw holiness, and to elevate the holy Spark, but to also transform the refuse of impurity itself into holiness, Abraham had to first experience an added on within himself from the Blessed Essence of G-d Himself, for only the Essence itself can transform evil itself into holiness. (iii) Hagar’s teshuvah is hinted in the verse speaking of A
