Genesis 25:7-20

7This is the length of Abraham’s life: 175 years.

8He took his last breath and died at a good old age, old and contented, and he was gathered to his people.

9His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah near Mamre, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hethite.

10This was the field that Abraham bought from the Hethites. Abraham was buried there with his wife Sarah.

11After Abraham’s death, God blessed his son Isaac, who lived near Beer-lahai-roi.

12These are the family records of Abraham’s son Ishmael, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s slave, bore to Abraham.

13These are the names of Ishmael’s sons; their names according to the family records are Nebaioth, Ishmael’s firstborn, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

14Mishma, Dumah, Massa,

15Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.

16These are Ishmael’s sons, and these are their names by their settlements and encampments: twelve leaders of their clans.

17This is the length of Ishmael’s life: 137 years. He took his last breath and died, and was gathered to his people.

18And they settled from Havilah to Shur, which is opposite Egypt as you go toward Asshur. He stayed near all his relatives.

19These are the family records of Isaac son of Abraham. Abraham fathered Isaac.

20Isaac was forty years old when he took as his wife Rebekah daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan-aram and sister of Laban the Aramean.
