Genesis Genesis 25:1-18
Eighteen verses close the Abraham cycle by collecting five outstanding promises and dispatching the overflow eastward. Abraham dies at one hundred seventy-five and is buried by his estranged sons together; Ishmael receives a twelve-prince fulfillment in the same words God spoke to Hagar; the death-formula closes a canonical set restricted to six covenant figures; and the eastward dispatch quietly seeds a vocabulary chain the canon will reverse at Isaiah 60 and Matthew 2.
