CHAP. XXIV. & XXV. to Verse 7. and 1 CHRON. 1. Vers. 32, 33.

[World 2148] [Sem 590] [Eber 425] [Abraham 140] [Ismael 54] [Isaac 40] ISAAC is married to Rebeccah: Abraham after Sarahs [Abraham 141] [Ismael 55] [Isaac 41] death marrieth Keturah, and hath divers children by [Abraham 142] [Ismael 56] [Isaac 42] her; those children when they come to age, he sendeth [Abraham 143] [Ismael 57] [Isaac 43] away into those countries beyond Jordan, and in Arabia, [Abraham 144] [Ismael 58] [Isaac 44] which Kedarlaomer and the Kings with him had conquered; [Abraham 145] [Ismael 59] [Isaac 45] and by the conquest of them, they descended to Abraham. [Abraham 146] [Ismael 60] [Isaac 46] There these sons of his grow into Nations, and become con∣tinual [Abraham 147] [Ismael 61] [Isaac 47] enemies to the seed of Israel. Though Abraham were [Abraham 148] [Ismael 62] [Isaac 48] very old at Sarahs death, being 137 years old then; yet is [Abraham 149] [Ismael 63] [Isaac 49] he not past the strength of generation, through the strength of that promise, I will multiply thee, &c. The greatest wonder of Isaacs birth was, that he was born of an old barren woman.

[World 2158] [Sem 600] [Eber 435] [Abraham 150] [Ismael 64] [Isaac 50] SEM dieth; being 600 years old, read Gen. 11. 11. the [Abraham 151] [Ismael 65] [Isaac 51] same was Melchisedech; the only man in the world greater [Abraham 152] [Ismael 66] [Isaac 52] then Abraham: For though Eber and Arphaxad, and the [Abraham 153] [Ismael 67] [Isaac 53] other Patriarchs, had this dignity above Abraham, that they [Abraham 154] [Ismael 68] [Isaac 54] were his fathers; yet he was dignified above them all in [Abraham 155] [Ismael 69] [Isaac 55] this, that he had the singular and glorious Promise made to [Abraham 156] [Ismael 70] [Isaac 56] him, which was not made to any of them but only Sem: [Abraham 157] [Ismael 71] [Isaac 57] Sem saw the two great miseries of the world, the Flood [Abraham 158] [Ismael 72] [Isaac 58] and the confusion of Tongues; but he saw comfort in Abra∣ham [Abraham 159] [Ismael 73] [Isaac 59] and Isaac. He lived as many years after Abraham came into the land of Canaan, as Abraham was old when he came thither; namely, 75 years.
