Please help me. What does the bible mean when it says gathered to his people Genesis 25:8 8 Then Abraham breathed his last and died at a good old age, an old man and full of years; and he was gathered to his people. Genesis 25:17 17 Altogether, Ishmael lived a hundred and thirty-seven years. He breathed his last and died, and he was gathered to his people. Genesis 35:28-29 28 Isaac lived a hundred and eighty years. 29 Then he breathed his last and died and was gathered to his people, old and full of years. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him Genesis 49:29,33 29 Then he gave them these instructions: I am about to be gathered to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the cave in the field of Ephron the Hittite, 33 When Jacob had finished giving instructions to his sons, he drew his feet up into the bed, breathed his last and was gathered to his people. 2 Kings 22:18-20 18 Tell the king of Yahudah, who sent you to enquire of YAHUWAH, This is what YAHUWAH, the Eloha of Israel, says concerning the words you heard: 19 Because your heart was responsive and you humbled yourself before YAHUWAH when you heard what I have spoken against this place and its people, that they would become accursed and laid waste, and because you tore your robes and wept in my presence, I have heard you, declares YAHUWAH. 20 Therefore I will gather you to your fathers, and you will be buried in peace. Your eyes will not see all the disaster I am going to bring on this place. So they took her answer back to the king. What does it mean?
