Genesis 25:7

DEATH OF ABRAHAM. (Genesis 25:7-11)

these are the days of . . . Abraham—His death is here related, though he lived till Jacob and Esau were fifteen years, just one hundred years after coming to Canaan; "the father of the faithful," "the friend of God" [James 2:23], died; and even in his death, the promises were fulfilled (compare Genesis 15:15). We might have wished some memorials of his deathbed experience; but the Spirit of God has withheld them—nor was it necessary; for (see Matthew 7:16) from earth he passed into heaven (Luke 16:22). Though dead he yet liveth (Matthew 22:32).
