Kejadian 25:1

The Death of Abraham

25:1 Abraham had taken ⁸  another ⁹  wife, named Keturah.

1 Samuel 15:7

15:7 Then Saul struck down the Amalekites all the way from Havilah to ¹⁰  Shur, which is next to Egypt.

[2:11]  ¹ tn Heb “it is that which goes around.”

[25:18]  ² tn Heb “they”; the referent (Ishmael’s descendants) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[25:18]  ³ tn Heb “which is by the face of,” or near the border. The territory ran along the border of Egypt.

[25:18]  ⁴ tn Heb “as you go.”

[25:18]  ⁵ sn The name Asshur refers here to a tribal area in the Sinai.

[25:18]  ⁶ tn Heb “he fell.”

[25:18]  ⁷ tn Heb “upon the face of all his brothers.” This last expression, obviously alluding to the earlier oracle about Ishmael (Gen 16:12), could mean that the descendants of Ishmael lived in hostility to others or that they lived in a territory that was opposite the lands of their relatives. While there is some ambiguity about the meaning, the line probably does give a hint of the Ishmaelite-Israelite conflicts to come.

[25:1]  ⁸ tn Or “took.”

[25:1]  sn Abraham had taken another wife. These events are not necessarily in chronological order following the events of the preceding chapter. They are listed here to summarize Abraham’s other descendants before the narrative of his death.

[25:1]  ⁹ tn Heb “And Abraham added and took.”

[15:7]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “[as] you enter.”
