Genesis 25:1-11

Abraham's Death

1 Now Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah.
2 1She bore to him Zimran and Jokshan and Medan and Midian and Ishbak and Shuah.
3 Jokshan became the father of Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim and Letushim and Leummim.
4 The sons of Midian were Ephah and Epher and Hanoch and Abida and Eldaah. All these were the sons of Keturah.
5 2Now Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac;
6 but to the sons of his concubines, Abraham gave gifts while he was still living, and 3sent them away from his son Isaac eastward, to the land of the east.
7 These are all the years of Abraham's life that he lived, 4one hundred and seventy-five years.
8 Abraham breathed his last and died 5in a ripe old age, an old man and satisfied with life; and he was 6gathered to his people.
9 Then his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in 7the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, facing * Mamre,
10 8the field which Abraham purchased from the sons of Heth; there Abraham was buried with Sarah his wife.
11 It came about after the death of Abraham, that 9God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac lived by 10Beer-lahai-roi.
