Genesis 25:5, Genesis 25:11 NIV

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 25:5

And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac. By his last will and testament; not all out of his own hand, while he lived, at least he reserved somewhat for himself, and for gifts to his other children; so his servant declared to the parents and friends of Rebekah, Genesis 24:35 ; wherefore some render the words here "had given" F4 נתן "dederat", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator. ; or the sense is, that he had at that time purposed and promised to give all that he had to Isaac, and... read more

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

And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac . I . e . constituted him his chief heir, according to previous Divine appointment ( Genesis 15:4 ), and made over to him the bulk of his possessions ( Genesis 24:36 ). But unto the sons of the concubines (Hagar and Keturah), which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts ,—"doubtless established them as youthful nomads" (Lunge) and sent them away from Isaac his son ,—Ishmael's dismissal took place long before ( Genesis 21:14 ); probably... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Genesis 25:1-18

Abraham’s other descendants (25:1-18)Before continuing the story of Isaac, the writer concludes the story of Abraham with a summary of his other descendants. Besides having a relationship with Hagar, Abraham had taken a minor wife, Keturah (1 Chronicles 1:28,1 Chronicles 1:32). But since Isaac was the promised heir, only he could remain in Canaan and receive Abraham’s inheritance. Abraham therefore gave gifts to his minor wives and their children and sent them off to establish independent lives... read more

"And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac. But unto the sons of the concubines, that Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts; and he sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country. And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, a hundred threescore and fifteen years. And Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, and full of years, and was gathered to his people.""All that he had unto Isaac ..." In all things of importance,... read more
