Abraham's Story · Event 23 of 23
The Death of Abraham
Last Years · The cave of Machpelah
Genesis 25:1–11
1Abraham married another woman, whose name was Keturah. 2She gave him six sons: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. 3Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. Dedan's descendants were the Asshurim, the Letushim, and the Leummim. 4Midian's sons were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abidah, and Eldaah. All of these were Keturah's descendants. 5Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac. 6However, while Abraham was still alive, he gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them away from Isaac to settle in lands to the east. 7Abraham lived a total of one hundred seventy-five years. 8Abraham breathed his last and passed away at a very old age, having lived a long and full life, and he was gathered to his people. 9His sons Isaac and Ishmael laid him to rest in the cave of Machpelah, in the field that belonged to Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite, across from Mamre. 10This was the field Abraham had bought from the sons of Heth. Abraham was buried there alongside his wife Sarah. 11After Abraham died, God blessed his son Isaac. Isaac was living near the well Lahairoi.
