Genesis 25:1-11

1Abraham then married another woman. Her name was Keturah.

2She gave birth to Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak and Shuah.

3Jokshan later became the father of Sheba and Dedan. The descendants of Dedan were the Asshurites, the Letushites and the Leummites.

4Midian had sons who were called Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida and Eldaah. All those were descendants of Abraham's wife, Keturah.

5When Abraham died, he left everything that belonged to him to Isaac.

6But while he was still alive, he gave gifts to the sons of his slave wives. He sent these sons away to the land of the east. He wanted to keep them far away from Isaac.

7Abraham lived for 175 years.

8He died after a good and long life, when he was very old. He joined his ancestors who had died before him.

9His sons, Isaac and Ishmael, buried his body in the cave of Machpelah. That was near Mamre. The cave is in the field that belonged to Zohar's son, Ephron. He was a Hittite.

10Abraham had bought the field from the Hittites. So they buried Abraham there. It was in the cave where his wife, Sarah, had also been buried.

11After Abraham's death, God blessed his son, Isaac. Isaac was living near Beer Lahai Roi.
