Dedan’s sons were the Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim. ⁴ And Midian’s sons were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were sons of Keturah. ⁵ Abraham gave everything he owned to Isaac.^{(B) 6} But Abraham gave gifts to the sons of his concubines, and while he was still alive he sent them eastwards, away from his son Isaac, to the land of the East.^(C)

⁷ This is the length of Abraham’s life:^[b] 175 years. ⁸ He took his last breath and died at a good old age,^(D) old and contented,^[c] and he was gathered to his people.^{(E) 9} His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah^(F) near Mamre, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hethite. ¹⁰ This was the field that Abraham bought from the Hethites.^(G) Abraham was buried there with his wife Sarah. ¹¹ After Abraham’s death, God blessed his son Isaac, who lived near Beer-lahai-roi.^(H)
