New Testament

Genesis 25:1-12 New Century Version (NCV)

1. Abraham married again, and his new wife was Keturah.

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

3. Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. Dedan’s descendants were the people of Assyria, Letush, and Leum.

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

5. Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac.

6. But before Abraham died, he did give gifts to the sons of his other wives, then sent them to the East to be away from Isaac.

7. Abraham lived to be one hundred seventy-five years old.

8. He breathed his last breath and died at an old age, after a long and satisfying life.

9. His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah in the field of Ephron east of Mamre. (Ephron was the son of Zohar the Hittite.)

10. So Abraham was buried with his wife Sarah in the same field that he had bought from the Hittites.

11. After Abraham died, God blessed his son Isaac. Isaac was now living at Beer Lahai Roi.

12. This is the family history of Ishmael, Abraham’s son. (Hagar, Sarah’s Egyptian servant, was Ishmael’s mother.)
