Genesis 25:1-11

1Abraham married again, and his wife’s name was Keturah.

2Keturah gave birth to these sons of Abraham: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.

3Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. Dedan’s descendants were the Assyrians, the Letushites, and the Leummites.

4The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. These were the descendants of Keturah.

5Abraham left everything he had to Isaac.

6But while he was still living, Abraham had given gifts to the sons of his concubines. He sent them away from his son Isaac to a land in the east.

7Abraham lived 175 years.

8Then he took his last breath, and died at a very old age. After a long and full life, he joined his ancestors in death.

9His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah in the field of Ephron, son of Zohar the Hittite. The cave is east of Mamre.

10This was the field that Abraham had bought from the Hittites. There Abraham was buried with his wife Sarah.

11After Abraham died, God blessed his son Isaac, who settled near Beer Lahai Roi.
