Genesis 25:7-20

7Abraham lived 175 years.

8Then he took his last breath, and died at a very old age. After a long and full life, he joined his ancestors in death.

9His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah in the field of Ephron, son of Zohar the Hittite. The cave is east of Mamre.

10This was the field that Abraham had bought from the Hittites. There Abraham was buried with his wife Sarah.

11After Abraham died, God blessed his son Isaac, who settled near Beer Lahai Roi.

12This is the account of the descendants of Abraham’s son Ishmael. He was the son of Sarah’s Egyptian slave Hagar and Abraham.

13These are the names of the sons of Ishmael listed in the order of their birth: Nebaioth (Ishmael’s firstborn), Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

14Mishma, Dumah, Massa,

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

16These are the sons of Ishmael and their names listed by their settlements and camps—12 leaders of their tribes.

17Ishmael lived 137 years. Then he took his last breath and died. He joined his ancestors in death.

18His descendants lived as nomads from the region of Havilah to Shur, which is near Egypt, in the direction of Assyria. They all fought with each other.

19This is the account of Abraham’s son Isaac and his descendants. Abraham was the father of Isaac.

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