Context of Genesis 25:7

5Now Abraham gave everything that he had to Isaac; 6but to the sons of his concubines [Hagar and Keturah], Abraham gave gifts while he was still living and he sent them to the east country, away from Isaac his son [of promise]. The days of Abraham’s life were a hundred and seventy-five years. 8Then Abraham breathed his last and he died at a good old age, an old man who was satisfied [with life]; and he was gathered to his people [who had preceded him in death]. 9So his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is east of Mamre,

Commentaries on Genesis 25:7

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 7The days of the years, etc. - There is a beauty in this expression which is not sufficiently regarded. Good men do not live by centuries, though many such have lived several hundred years, nor do they count their lives even by years, but by days, living as if they were the creatures only of A Day; having no more time than they can with any propriety call their own, and living that day in reference to eternity.Read the comment

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 7-8These verses mention Abraham's death before Jacob and Esau are born. But he actually lived until they were 15 years old (25:19–26; compare 21:5; 25:26). This storytelling choice ends Abraham's story before focusing on Isaac's family.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 7-117. these are the days of ... Abraham--His death is here related, though he lived till Jacob and Esau were fifteen years, just one hundred years after coming to Canaan; "the father of the faithful," "the friend of God" [Jas 2:23], died; and even in his death, the promises were fulfilled (compare Ge 15:15). We might have wished some memorials of his deathbed experience; but the Spirit of God has withheld them--nor was it necessary; for (see Mt 7:16) from…Read the comment
