Abraham’s Death and His Descendants (GEN 25:1-18)

[25:1] Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah.

[25:2] She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.

[25:3] Jokshan fathered Sheba and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.

[25:4] The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.

[25:5] Abraham gave all he had to Isaac.

[25:6] But to the sons of his concubines Abraham gave gifts, and while he was still living he sent them away from his son Isaac, eastward to the east country.

[25:7] These are the days of the years of Abraham’s life, 175 years.

[25:8] Abraham breathed his last and died in a good old age, an old man and full of years, and was gathered to his people.

[25:9] Isaac and Ishmael his sons buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, east of Mamre,

[25:10] the field that Abraham purchased from the Hittites. There Abraham was buried, with Sarah his wife.

[25:11] After the death of Abraham, God blessed Isaac his son. And Isaac settled at Beer-Lahai-Roi.

[25:12] These are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s servant, bore to Abraham.

[25:13] These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, named in the order of their birth: Nebaioth, the firstborn of Ishmael; and Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

[25:14] Mishma, Dumah, Massa,

[25:15] Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.

[25:16] These are the sons of Ishmael and these are their names, by their villages and by their encampments, twelve princes according to their tribes.

[25:17] (These are the years of the life of Ishmael: 137 years. He breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.)

[25:18] They settled from Havilah to Shur, which is opposite Egypt in the direction of Assyria. He settled over against all his kinsmen.
