創世記 25:3-4 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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 25:3

And Jokshan begat Sheba and Dedan ,.... Bochart F15 Phaleg. l. 2. c. 9. col. 227. is of opinion, that the posterity of this Sheba are the same with the Sabeans who inhabited at the entrance of Arabia Felix, not far from the Nabathaeans; and who, by Strabo F16 Geograph. l. 16. p. 536. , are mentioned together as near to Syria, and used to make excursions on their neighbours; and not without some colour of reason thought to be the same that plundered Job of his cattle, Job 1:15 .... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 25:4

And the sons of Midian ,.... The fourth son of Abraham by Keturah; he had five sons next mentioned, who were heads of so many tribes or families in Midian: hence we read of five kings of Midian; Numbers 31:8 ; their names follow: Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah : the two first of these, whom Cleodemus F20 Apud Euseb. ut supra. (Praepar. Evangel. l. 9. c. 20. p. 432.) calls Aphra and Apher, and makes them to be sons of Abraham by Keturah, when they were his... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 25:3

Sheba - From whom sprang the Sabeans, who robbed Job of his cattle. See Bochart and Calmet. Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim - We know not who these were, but as each name is plural they must have been tribes or families, and not individuals. Onkelos interprets these words of persons dwelling in camps, tents, and islands; and Jonathan ben Uzziel calls them merchants, artificers, and heads or chiefs of people. read more

Ephah, and Epher, etc. - Of these we know no more than of the preceding; an abundance of conjectures is already furnished by the commentators. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 25:1-11

The last days of Abraham. I. ABRAHAM 'S OLD AGE . 1. The taking of a second wife . 2. The making of his will . II. ABRAHAM 'S DEATH . 1. Before death . The age to which the patriarch had attained was— 2. At death . His end was peaceful; he "breathed out his spirit" into the hands of Jehovah. So did Isaac ( Genesis 35:29 ), Jacob ( Genesis 49:33 ), David ( Psalms 31:5 ), Christ ( Luke 23:46 ). "Mark the perfect, and behold the upright" ( ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 25:1-18

The line of blessing. Although Abraham has many descendants, he carefully distinguishes the line of the Divine blessing. His peaceful end at 175 years set the seal upon a long life of faith and fellowship with God. His two sons, Isaac and Ishmael, met at their father's grave, although living apart. The influence of such a character as Abraham's is very elevating and healing, even in the sphere of the world. Ishmael is not entirely forgotten, but Isaac, as the true heir of Abraham, hands on... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 25:3

And Jokshan begat Sheba ,—probably the Sabeans: Job 1:15 ; Job 6:19 (Keil)— and Dedan —probably the trading people mentioned in Jeremiah 25:23 (Keil). And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim ,—who have been associated with the warlike tribe of the Asir , to the south of Hejas (Keil)— and Letushim ,—the Bann Leits in Hejas (Keil)— and Leummim —the tribe Bann Lam , which extended even to Babylon and Mesopotamia (Keil). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 25:4

And the sons of Midian ; Ephah ( vide Isaiah 60:6 ), and Epher (Bent Ghifar in Hejas), and Hanoch (Hanakye, three days north of Medinah), and Abidah, and Eldaah —the tribes of Abide and Vadaa in the neighborhood of Asir. Keil adds that all these identifications are uncertain. All these were the children of Keturah —six sons, seven grandsons, three great grandsons; in all sixteen descendants. read more
