Abraham
The name "Abraham" is derived from the Hebrew "Avraham," meaning "father of many" or "father of a multitude." This name was given by God as a covenant promise that Abraham would be the patriarch of many nations (Genesis 17:5). Abraham is a central figure in the Bible, revered as a man of faith and obedience. His life is a testament to God's faithfulness and the fulfillment of His promises. Abraham's journey from Ur to Canaan, his covenant with God, and his role as the father of Isaac and Ishmael are foundational to understanding the narrative of God's chosen people.

lived
The Hebrew word for "lived" is "chayah," which means to live, to be alive, or to sustain life. In the context of Abraham's life, it signifies not just the duration of his years but the fullness and purpose of his existence. Abraham's life was marked by significant events that shaped the course of biblical history, including his call by God, his journey of faith, and his role as a patriarch. His life exemplifies a walk with God, characterized by faith, obedience, and the fulfillment of divine promises.

a total of
This phrase emphasizes the completeness and entirety of Abraham's lifespan. It suggests a life that was full and complete, marked by the fulfillment of God's promises. The use of "total" underscores the significance of each year of Abraham's life, each filled with purpose and divine encounters. It invites reflection on the impact of a life lived in faith and obedience to God.

175 years
The specific mention of "175 years" highlights the longevity of Abraham's life, which was a sign of God's blessing in the ancient world. In biblical times, long life was often associated with divine favor and fulfillment of God's promises. Abraham's long life allowed him to witness the unfolding of God's covenant, the birth of Isaac, and the establishment of his descendants. It serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness and the enduring nature of His promises. The number 175, being a combination of 100 (a number of completeness) and 75 (a number of divine intervention), symbolizes a life that was both complete and divinely orchestrated.

(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. Genesis 47:9) - an hundred and threescore and fifteen years - i.e. 175 years; so that he must have lived seventy-five years after Isaac's birth and thirty-eight years after Sarah's death. "His grandfather lived 148 years, his father 205, his son 180, and his grandson 147; so that his years were the full average of that period (Murphy).
