3276. 'And he breathed his last and died' means the end of the representation portrayed by means of Ishmael. This also is clear from what has been stated above in 3253, where the same words occur and the internal sense is the same. And 'he was gathered to his peoples' means that these things involving Ishmael [were completed], as is likewise clear from what has been stated above, in 3255.
