Genesis 25:1-11

Good News Translation

Other Descendants of Abraham^(A)

25 Abraham married another woman, whose name was Keturah. ² She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. ³ Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan, and the descendants of Dedan were the Asshurim, the Letushim, and the Leummim. ⁴ The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were Keturah's descendants.

⁵ Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac; ⁶ but while he was still alive, he gave presents to the sons his other wives had borne him. Then he sent these sons to the land of the East, away from his son Isaac.

The Death and Burial of Abraham

^7-8 Abraham died at the ripe old age of 175. ⁹ His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in Machpelah Cave, in the field east of Mamre that had belonged to Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite. ^10 (B)It was the field that Abraham had bought from the Hittites; both Abraham and his wife Sarah were buried there. ¹¹ After the death of Abraham, God blessed his son Isaac, who lived near “The Well of the Living One Who Sees Me.”
