Abraham's Death and His Descendants

Genesis 25

1 Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah. 2 l She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. 3 Jokshan fathered Sheba and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim. 4 The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah. 5 m Abraham gave all he had to Isaac. 6 But to the sons of his concubines Abraham gave gifts, and while he was still living he n sent them away from his son Isaac, eastward o to the east country.

7 These are the days of the years of Abraham's life, 175 years. 8 Abraham p breathed his last and q died in a good old age, an old man and full of years, and was gathered to his people. 9 Isaac and Ishmael r his sons buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, east of Mamre, 10 the field s that Abraham purchased from the Hittites. t There Abraham was buried, with Sarah his wife. 11 After the death of Abraham, God blessed Isaac his son. And Isaac settled at u Beer-lahai-roi.

12 These are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, v whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's servant, bore to Abraham. 13 w These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, named in the order of their birth: x Nebaioth, the firstborn of Ishmael; and x Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, 14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa, 15 Hadad, y Tema, z Jetur, z Naphish, and Kedemah. 16 These are the sons of Ishmael and these are their names, by their villages and by their encampments, a twelve princes according to their tribes. 17 (These are the years of the life of Ishmael: 137 years. He b breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.) 18 c They settled from Havilah to d Shur, which is opposite Egypt in the direction of Assyria. He settled 1 over against all his kinsmen.
