Genesis 25:7-20

7Abraham lived for 175 years.

8He died after a good and long life, when he was very old. He joined his ancestors who had died before him.

9His sons, Isaac and Ishmael, buried his body in the cave of Machpelah. That was near Mamre. The cave is in the field that belonged to Zohar's son, Ephron. He was a Hittite.

10Abraham had bought the field from the Hittites. So they buried Abraham there. It was in the cave where his wife, Sarah, had also been buried.

11After Abraham's death, God blessed his son, Isaac. Isaac was living near Beer Lahai Roi.

12This is the report about Abraham's son, Ishmael, and his family. Sarah's female servant gave birth to Ishmael. Her name was Hagar. She was from Egypt.

13These are the names of Ishmael's sons. The list starts from the firstborn son and ends with the last son. Nebaioth was the first son of Ishmael. Then there were Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

14Mishma, Dumah, Massa,

15Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish and Kedemah.

16These were all Ishmael's sons. Their names became the names of 12 groups of people. They separated and lived in their own lands. Ishmael's sons ruled over the 12 groups of people.

17Ishmael lived for 137 years then he died. He joined his ancestors who had died before him.

18Ishmael's descendants lived in the lands from Havilah to Shur. These are near Egypt, towards Asshur. They were always at war with each other.

19This is the report about Abraham's son, Isaac, and his family. Abraham became the father of Isaac.

20When Isaac was 40 years old, he married Rebekah. Rebekah was the daughter of Bethuel. Bethuel was an Aramean from Paddan Aram. She was the sister of Laban the Aramean.
