Abraham’s Other Wife and Sons

25 Now Abraham had taken another wife, whose name was Keturah,^{(A) 2} and she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. ³ Jokshan fathered Sheba and Dedan. 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} And Abraham gave gifts to the sons of his concubines, but while he was still alive he sent them eastward, away from his son Isaac, to the land of the East.^(C)

Abraham’s Death

⁷ This is the length of Abraham’s life:^[a] 175 years. ⁸ He took his last breath and died at a ripe old age,^(D) old and contented,^[b] 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 Hittite. ¹⁰ This was the field that Abraham bought from the Hittites.^(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)

He took his last breath and died, and was gathered to his people. ¹⁸ And they^[f] settled from Havilah to Shur, which is opposite Egypt as you go toward Asshur. He^[g] lived in opposition to^[h] all his brothers.^(L)
