Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 25:6

6. The concubines Hagar and Keturah . Sent them away Some have objected that Keturah’s sons, if born after Sarah’s death, were too young to be thus sent away . But Ishmael was only a lad of fifteen or seventeen years when sent away with his mother into the wilderness of Beer-sheba . Genesis 21:14. But the time of bestowing these gifts on the sons of his concubines, and sending them away, is uncertain . The different facts stated in Genesis 25:5-6 may have occurred at very different dates... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 25:7

7. The days of the years This form of expression is impressive, and served to intensify the idea of the long life of one hundred and seventy-five years. Comp. Genesis 35:28-29; and Genesis 47:9. How many days in these years! But his father, Terah, died at two hundred and five years, (Genesis 11:32,) his son Isaac at one hundred and eighty, (Genesis 35:28,) and Jacob at one hundred and forty-seven years . Genesis 47:28. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 25:7-11

DEATH AND BURIAL OF ABRAHAM, Genesis 25:7-11. The termination of Abraham’s life is recorded here, as also the generations of Ishmael, (Genesis 25:12-18,) in order to prepare the way for the history of Isaac. But it appears from Genesis 25:26, that Jacob and Esau were born fifteen years before Abraham’s death. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 25:8

8. Gave up the ghost Hebrews, breathed out . He seems to have died of old age, and in a good old age, according to the promises of Genesis 15:15. An old man, and full of years Rather, old and full . His was a well-rounded and completed life. Gathered to his people Not buried in the ancestral tomb, for this was not the case; nor is the expression equivalent to burial, for that is separately mentioned in the next verse; but gathered where his people were yet living an immortal... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 25:9

9. Isaac and Ishmael buried him There is something touching in this statement . No wrongs, or bitterness, or antipathy of the past, prevent their union in a common sorrow over their great father . So at a later date Esau and Jacob, similarly estranged, come together to bury their father, Isaac . Genesis 35:29. The sons of Keturah, now, perhaps, far scattered, and less attached to Abraham than Ishmael and Isaac, are not mentioned here . Machpelah See on Genesis 23:9. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 25:11

11. God blessed… Isaac This verse is a sort of appendix to Abraham’s death . The aged patriarch is buried, but the God of Abraham abides the God of Isaac, and ever lives to fulfil his word . Lahai-roi See on Genesis 16:14; Genesis 24:62. After this new sorrow Isaac might well betake him to the place so memorably associated with his first meeting with his beloved Rebekah, who comforted him after his mother’s death. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 25:12

Generations of Ishmael, Genesis 25:12-18. 12. These are the generations This is the eighth section so beginning . “According to custom,” says Murphy, “before the history of the principal line is taken up, that of the collateral branch is briefly given . Thus Cain’s history is closed before Seth’s is commenced; Japheth and Ham are before Shem; Haran and Nahor before Abram . And so the sons of Keturah are first dismissed from the pages of history, and then Ishmael . ” read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 25:13-15

1 3-15 . The names We find scattered notices of these names in later books . Thus, Nebajoth in Isaiah 60:7, probably the Nabataeans of later history; Kedar in Isaiah 21:17; Isaiah 42:11; Isaiah 60:7; Jeremiah 2:10; Jeremiah 49:28; Ezekiel 27:21; Psalms 120:5; Song of Solomon 1:5; Dumah in Isaiah 21:11; Tema in Job 6:19; Isaiah 21:14; Jeremiah 25:23; Jetur and Naphish in 1 Chronicles 5:19. From Jetur probably sprung the Ituraeans of later history . Many of these, no doubt, became... read more

16. By their towns, and… castles Rather, in their village and in their encampment . “It is generally known, that the Arabs are, according to their mode of life, divided into two chief classes: those of towns or villages, and those of the deserts, or the dwellers in tents . The latter, of course nomadic in their habits, are the Bedouins and Scenitae . It is not improbable that these two different classes are alluded to in the words, ‘By their villages and by their tents . ’ The roaming... read more
