Genesis 25:1-11

1Abraham had taken another wife, named Keturah.

2She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.

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

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

5Everything he owned Abraham left to his son Isaac.

6But while he was still alive, Abraham gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them off to the east, away from his son Isaac.

7Abraham lived a total of 175 years.

8Then Abraham breathed his last and died at a good old age, an old man who had lived a full life. He joined his ancestors.

9His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah near Mamre, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar, the Hethite.

10This was the field Abraham had purchased from the sons of Heth. There Abraham was buried with his wife Sarah.

11After Abraham’s death, God blessed his son Isaac. Isaac lived near Beer Lahai Roi.
