Genesis 25:1-18

Genesis 25:1-18 TPT

Now Abraham had taken another wife, whose name was Keturah. She and Abraham had sons named Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. Dedan’s sons were the Ashurites, the Letushites, and the Leummites. Midian’s sons were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the descendants of Keturah. Abraham gave all that he possessed to Isaac, but to his sons by his concubines he gave gifts while he was still living. He sent them all away eastward, separating them from his son Isaac. Abraham lived a total of one hundred and seventy-five years. Abraham took his final breath, dying at a good old age. After having lived a full, content life, he joined his ancestors. His sons, Isaac and Ishmael, buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field which had belonged to Ephron, the son of Zohar the Hittite, east of Mamre. They buried him next to his wife Sarah, in the same field that Abraham purchased from the Hittites. After Abraham had passed, God greatly blessed his son Isaac, and Isaac settled near the well named the Well of the Living One Who Watches Over Me. This is the account of the descendants of Abraham’s son Ishmael, whom Sarah’s servant, Hagar the Egyptian, bore to Abraham. The names of Ishmael’s sons in their birth order are: Nebaioth the firstborn; and Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, Mishma, Dumah, Massa, Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. These twelve sons of Ishmael became princes of twelve tribes that were named after them, listed by the places they settled and camped. They occupied the land from Havilah to Shur, which is east of Egypt, in the direction of Assyria. And Ishmael lived in hostility toward all of his people. At the age of one hundred and thirty-seven, Ishmael breathed his last and died and was joined to his ancestors.
