Genesis 25:7-20

7Abraham lived a total of 175 years.

8Then Abraham breathed his last and died at a good old age, an old man who had lived a full life. He joined his ancestors.

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

10This was the field Abraham had purchased from the sons of Heth. There Abraham was buried with his wife Sarah.

11After Abraham’s death, God blessed his son Isaac. Isaac lived near Beer Lahai Roi.

12This is the account of Abraham’s son Ishmael, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s servant, bore to Abraham.

13These are the names of Ishmael’s sons, by their names according to their records: Nebaioth (Ishmael’s firstborn), Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

14Mishma, Dumah, Massa,

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

16These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names by their settlements and their camps – twelve princes according to their clans.

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.

19This 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.
