Genesis 25:1-11

1Abraham married another wife, whose name was Keturah.

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

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

4Midian’s sons were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. These were all descendants of Abraham through Keturah.

5Abraham gave everything he owned to his son Isaac.

6But before he died, he gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them off to a land in the east, away from Isaac.

7Abraham lived for 175 years,

8and he died at a ripe old age, having lived a long and satisfying life. He breathed his last and joined his ancestors in death.

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

10This was the field Abraham had purchased from the Hittites and where he had buried his wife Sarah.

11After Abraham’s death, God blessed his son Isaac, who settled near Beer-lahai-roi in the Negev.
