Gênesis 25:2-3 NVT

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Genesis 25:1-11

CHAPTER 25:1-11 Abraham’s Posterity From Keturah and His Death 1. Abraham’s offspring from Keturah (Genesis 25:1-4 ) 2. Isaac the heir (Genesis 25:5-6 ) 3. Abraham’s death and burial (Genesis 25:7-11 ) Abraham’s marriage to Keturah and the offspring from her concludes the history of this remarkable character. That this took place after Isaac’s marriage (typifying the marriage of the Lamb) makes it very interesting. After the church is completed and the present age ends the seed of... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 25:1-34

OTHER GENERATIONS OF ABRAHAM We are not told what time Abraham took Keturah as a wife. Of course, God could enable him to be a father of children even after Sarah had died, but in this case he would be over 137 years, and nothing is given to enlighten us in this matter. However, verses 1-4 tell us that Keturah bore Abraham six sons, and that some of these also had sons afterward. whenever they were born, they were not considered by God as having any place compared to Isaac. Abraham gave all... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Genesis 25:1-18

ISAAC ’S MARRIAGE , ABRAHAM ’S DEATH In Abraham’s time, communications between families separated by long distances were few and far between. But he seems to have gotten news from his brother’s home sometime after the birth of Isaac, as recorded at the close of chapter 22, linking that chapter to the one we are now considering. SELECTING THE BRIDE (Genesis 24:1-52 ) Notice the preparation made by Abraham for Isaac’s marriage (Genesis 24:1-9 ), the oath he administers to his servant, the... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Genesis 25:1-34

The Death of Abraham Gen 25:8 Now that he is gone we may be able to get a clear view of his whole character, and to see how one part looks in the light of another. It is almost impossible to be just to any living man who is doing a great work, because we see his imperfections, we are perhaps fretted by the manner in which he does it, and we are not quite sure that he may not even yet spoil it by a blunder or a crime. But when he has laid down his tools, and left his work for the last time, we... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Genesis 25:3-5

And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim. And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah. And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac. Was not this typical of Christ's fulness? John 3:35 ; Colossians 1:19 read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 25:1-10

1-10 All the days, even of the best and greatest saints, are not remarkable days; some slide on silently; such were these last days of Abraham. Here is an account of Abraham's children by Keturah, and the disposition which he made of his estate. After the birth of these sons, he set his house in order, with prudence and justice. He did this while he yet lived. It is wisdom for men to do what they find to do while they live, as far as they can. Abraham lived 175 years; just one hundred years... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Genesis 25:1-6

Abraham's Second Marriage v. 1. Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.

And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah. v. 3. And Jokshan begat Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and... read more

Abraham’s Death and Burial Genesis 25:1-18 After being for sixteen years contemporary with his grandsons, Esau and Jacob, Abraham died without owning a foot of land except the cave for which he had paid, as a stranger might. But all was his. He was persuaded of God’s faithfulness, and earnestly reached out his hands toward the City with foundations. See Hebrews 11:13 . He was full . Those who had known him in Ur might have looked on his life as a huge failure, and have spoken of him as a... read more
