創世記 25:7-11 RCUVTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 25:1-10

Abraham lived, after the marriage of Isaac, thirty-five years, and all that is recorded concerning him during the time lies here in a very few verses. We hear no more of God's extraordinary appearances to him or trials of him; for all the days, even of the best and greatest saints, are not eminent days, some slide on silently, and neither come nor go with observation; such were these last days of Abraham. We have here, I. An account of his children by Keturah, another wife whom he married... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 25:11-18

Immediately after the account of Abraham's death, Moses begins the story of Isaac (Gen. 25:11), and tells us where he dwelt and how remarkably God blessed him. Note, The blessing of Abraham did not die with him, but survived to all the children of the promise. But he presently digresses from the story of Isaac, to give a short account of Ishmael, forasmuch as he also was a son of Abraham, and God had made some promises concerning him, which it was requisite we should know the accomplishment... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 25:7

And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life, which he lived ,.... Being about to die, an account is given of his age, which was an hundred threescore and fifteen years ; one hundred and seventy years; so that Isaac was now seventy five years of age, for he was born when Abraham was an hundred years old, and Jacob and Esau must how be fifteen years of age at this time, since they were born when Isaac was sixty years of age, Genesis 25:26 ; and Ishmael must be eighty nine... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 25:8

Then Abraham gave up the ghost ,.... Very readily and cheerfully, without any previous sickness or present pain, but through the decay of nature by reason of old age, in a very easy quiet manner: and died in a good old age, an old man ; for quantity, in those times few arriving to a greater; for quality, not attended with those inconveniences and disadvantages with which old age generally is, and therefore called evil: and full of years ; in the original it is only, "and full"; the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 25:9

And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah ,.... Isaac, though the younger brother, is set first, because he was born of the lawful wife of Abraham, the free woman, whereas Ishmael was born of a concubine and a bondwoman; Isaac was heir not only to Abraham's temporal estate, but of the promise made concerning the Messiah, (not so Ishmael,) and was on all accounts the greater man. It appears from hence, that, though them had been a quarrel between Ishmael and Isaac,... read more

The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth ,.... Of one of them, Ephron, the rest being witnesses of it, Genesis 23:16 , there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife ; Sarah had been buried there thirty eight years before, which was the reason why his sons buried, him there; if he died in Beersheba, as seems probable, see Genesis 24:62 ; from thence to Hebron were sixteen miles F8 Bunting's Travels, p. 57. ; so far was he carried to be interred. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 25:11

And it came to pass, after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac ,.... Yet more and more, both with spiritual and temporal blessings; showing hereby, that, though Abraham was dead, he was not unmindful of his covenant, which should be established with Isaac, Genesis 17:19 , and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi ; which was near the wilderness of Beersheba and Paran, where Ishmael dwelt; so that they were not far from one another, see Genesis 16:14 . read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 25:7

The days of the years, etc. - There is a beauty in this expression which is not sufficiently regarded. Good men do not live by centuries, though many such have lived several hundred years, nor do they count their lives even by years, but by days, living as if they were the creatures only of A Day; having no more time than they can with any propriety call their own, and living that day in reference to eternity. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 25:8

Then Abraham gave up the ghost - Highly as I value our translation for general accuracy, fidelity, and elegance, I must beg leave to dissent from this version. The original word יגוע yigva , from the root גוע gava , signifies to pant for breath, to expire, to cease from breathing, or to breathe one's last; and here, and wherever the original word is used, the simple term expired would be the proper expression. In our translation this expression occurs Genesis 25:8 , Genesis 25:17 ... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 25:9

His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him - Though Ishmael and his mother had been expelled from Abraham's family on the account of Isaac, yet, as he was under the same obligation to a most loving affectionate father as his brother Isaac, if any personal feuds remained, they agreed to bury them on this occasion, that both might dutifully join in doing the last offices to a parent who was an honor to them and to human nature: and, considering the rejection of Ishmael from the inheritance, this... read more
