What Does Genesis 25:7 Mean Abraham lived“Abraham lived…” (Genesis 25:7) reminds us that this patriarch’s story is rooted in real time and space. • Genesis 12:1–4 shows God calling Abraham at age seventy-five; every year thereafter unfolds under covenant promise. • Acts 7:2–4 confirms Abraham’s historic journey, anchoring faith in factual events. • Hebrews 11:8 highlights that his life is marked by obedient movement, not mere existence. The verb “lived” points to decades saturated with worship (Genesis 12:7–8), intercession (Genesis 18:22–33), and testing (Genesis 22:1–14). What God begins, He sustains (Philippians 1:6). a total “…a total…” underscores completion. Nothing in Abraham’s span is cut short or left unfinished. • Genesis 15:15 had promised, “You will go to your fathers in peace and be buried at a good old age.” The record here shows that promise kept. • Psalm 139:16 affirms that all our days are written before one of them comes to be. The phrase hints at divine bookkeeping—every sunrise of Abraham’s pilgrimage tallied by the Lord. • Joshua 23:14 echoes this satisfaction language as Joshua nears death: “Not one word has failed…”; God’s totals are perfect. of 175 years “…of 175 years.” Longevity in Scripture often signals blessing (Exodus 20:12). • Genesis 5 and 11 trace long life spans that dwindle after the flood; Abraham’s age stands out in a post-Flood world, highlighting God’s preserving hand. • Psalm 90:10 notes life’s general limit at seventy or eighty; Abraham more than doubles that, displaying extraordinary covenant favor. • Job 5:26 envisions the righteous coming “to the grave in full vigor, like sheaves gathered in season.” Abraham’s 175 years fit that picture: Genesis 25:8 adds, “Abraham breathed his last and died at a ripe old age, an old man and satisfied.” The specific number also frames the timeline of God’s unfolding plan: Isaac is seventy-five and Jacob fifteen when Abraham dies (Genesis 21:5; 25:26), allowing three generations to overlap and hear firsthand testimony of God’s faithfulness. summary Genesis 25:7 compresses a lifetime into one concise sentence, yet each word sparkles: Abraham truly lived, his days were fully counted, and his 175 years manifest the covenant God who completes what He starts. His long, satisfied life assures believers that every promise is timed perfectly and finished completely under the watchful care of the Lord who numbers our days. (7) An hundred threescore and fifteen years.--As Abraham was seventy-five years of age when he left Haran (Genesis 12:4), his sojourn in Canaan lasted just a century, one quarter of which was spent in the long trial of his faith before Isaac was granted to him. As, however, Esau and Jacob were born when Isaac was sixty years of age (Genesis 25:26), they would be fifteen at Abraham's death, and probably had often seen their grandfather, and received his blessing.Abraham . . . was gathered to his people.--Upon the belief in a future life implied in these words, see Note on Genesis 15:15, and comp. Hebrews 11:16.Verse 7. - And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, - an impressive and appropriate expression for the computation of life (cf.
