Context of Genesis 25:19
17Ishmael lived a total of 137 years. He breathed his last and died; then he joined his ancestors. 18His descendants settled from Havilah to Shur, which runs next to Egypt all the way to Asshur. They settled away from all their relatives. This is the account of Isaac, the son of Abraham. Abraham became the father of Isaac. 20When Isaac was forty years old, he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan Aram and sister of Laban the Aramean. 21Isaac prayed to the Lord on behalf of his wife because she was childless. The Lord answered his prayer, and his wife Rebekah became pregnant.
