The soul of Abram should be introduced among the assembly of the first-born; Thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace . 2. His body should be buried after a long life, one hundred and seventy-five years, . The body was buried; the soul went to the spiritual world, to dwell among the fathers -the patriarchs, who had lived and died in the Lord. .

Verse 15. Thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace] This verse strongly implies the immortality of the soul, and a state of separate existence.

The soul of Abram should be introduced among the assembly of the first-born; Thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace.

2. His body should be buried after a long life, one hundred and seventy-five years, Ge 25:7. The body was buried; the soul went to the spiritual world, to dwell among the fathers-the patriarchs, who had lived and died in the Lord. See Clarke on Gen 25:8.
