Abraham
Death and lossOld age

6 But while he was still alive, Abraham gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them away from his son Isaac to the land of the east.

7 Abraham lived a total of 175 years.

And at a ripe old age he breathed his last and died, old and contented, and was gathered to his people.

9 His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah near Mamre, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite.

10 This was the field that Abraham had bought from the Hittites. Abraham was buried there with his wife Sarah.
