创世记 25:16-19 CUVS

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

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 25:19-28

We have here an account of the birth of Jacob and Esau, the twin sons of Isaac and Rebekah: their entrance into the world was (which is not usual) one of the most considerable parts of their story; nor is much related concerning Isaac but what had reference to his father while he lived and to his sons afterwards. For Isaac seems not to have been a man of action, nor much tried, but to have spent his days in quietness and silence. Now concerning Jacob and Esau we are here told, I. That they... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 25:16

These are the sons of Ishmael ,.... The twelve before mentioned, Genesis 25:13 , these are their names, by their towns and by their castles ; their towns and their castles being called after their names, some of which we are able to trace at this distance, as the above notes show: twelve princes according to their nations ; these were princes, or heads of tribes, and there were twelve of them, and continued so, see Genesis 17:20 ; where is the prophecy, and here an... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 25:17

And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years ,.... one hundred and thirty seven years old. So that he lived forty eight years after the death of Abraham, Genesis 25:8 ; and, though he did not live to be so old as he, yet it was a considerable age he attained unto; see Gill on Genesis 25:7 , and he gave up the ghost and died, and was gathered unto his people ; some of the same expressions being used of him as of his father, Genesis 25:8 ,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 25:18

And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur ,.... That is, the posterity of Ishmael, whose country reached from one place to the other; not from India to Chaluza, as the Targums of Jonathan and Jerusalem; but the extent is that vast desert of Arabia, which eastward was called the wilderness of Havilah, and westward the wilderness of Shur; so that they inhabited it from east to west: that is before Egypt, as thou goest to Assyria ; which last place was over against Egypt, and bordered on that... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 25:19

And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son ,.... Moses, having given the genealogy of Ishmael and his posterity, returns to Isaac, the other son of Abraham, with whom and his children the following part of his history is chiefly, if not altogether concerned: Abraham begat Isaac ; for the further confirmation of his being his proper legitimate son this clause is added. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 25:16

These are their names - By which their descendants were called. Their towns - places of encampment in the wilderness, such as have been used by the Arabs from the remotest times. Their castles, טירתם tirotham , their towers, probably mountain tops, fortified rocks, and fastnesses of various kinds in woods and hilly countries. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 25:18

They dwelt from Havilah unto Shur - The descendants of Ishmael possessed all that country which extends from east to west, from Havilah on the Euphrates, near its junction with the Tigris, to the desert of Shur eastward of Egypt; and which extends along the isthmus of Suez, which separates the Red Sea from the Mediterranean. As thou goest toward Assyria - "These words," says Calmet, "may refer either to Egypt, to Shur, or to Havilah. The desert of Shur is on the road from Egypt to... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 25:19

These are the generations of Isaac - This is the history of Isaac and his family. Here the sixth section of the law begins, called יעחק תולדת toledoth yitschak ; as the fifth, called שרה חיי chaiye Sarah , which begins with Genesis 23, ends at the preceding verse. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 25:18

Verse 18 18.He died in the presence of all his brethren (25) The major part of commentators understand this of his death; as if Moses had said that the life of Ishmael was shorter than that of his brethren, who long survived him: but because the word נפל (naphal) is applied to a violent death, and Moses testifies that Ishmael died a natural death, this exposition cannot be approved. The Chaldean Paraphrast supposes the word “lot ” to be understood, and elicits this sense, that the lot fell to... read more
