Genesis 25:1-8

1 And Abraam again took a wife, whose name was Chettura.

2 And she bore to him Zombran, and Jezan, and Madal, and Madiam, and Jesboc, and Soie.

3 And Jezan begot Saba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were the Assurians and the Latusians, and Laomim.

4 And the sons of Madiam Gephar and Aphir, and Enoch, and Abeida, and Eldaga; all these were sons of Chettura.

5 But Abraam gave all his possessions to Isaac his son.

6 But to the sons of his concubines Abraam gave gifts, and he sent them away from his son Isaac, while he was yet living, to the east into the country of the east.

7 And these the years of the days of the life of Abraam as many as he lived, a hundred and seventy-five years.

8 And Abraam failing died in a good old age, an old man and full of days, and was added to his people.
