Genesis 25:1-8

1 Avraham took another wife, and her name was Keturah.

2 She bore him Zimran, Yokshan, Medan, Midyan, Yishbak, and Shuach.

3 Yokshan became the father of Sheva, and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Ashshurim, Letushim, and Le'ummim.

4 The sons of Midyan: `Efah, `Efer, Hanokh, Avida, and Elda`ah. All these were the children of Keturah.

5 Avraham gave all that he had to Yitzchak,

6 but to the sons of the concubines who Avraham had, Avraham gave gifts. He sent them away from Yitzchak his son, while he yet lived, eastward, to the east country.

7 These are the days of the years of Avraham's life which he lived: one hundred seventy-five years.

8 Avraham gave up the spirit, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full, and was gathered to his people.
