Genesis 25:7-20

7This is the sum of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived: one hundred and seventy-five years.

8Then Abraham breathed his last and died in a good old age, an old man and full of years, and was gathered to his people.

9And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite,

10the field which Abraham purchased from the sons of Heth. There Abraham was buried, and Sarah his wife.

11And it came to pass, after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac dwelt at Beer Lahai Roi.

12Now this is the genealogy of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s maidservant, bore to Abraham.

13And these were the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: The firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

14Mishma, Dumah, Massa,

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

16These were the sons of Ishmael and these were their names, by their towns and their settlements, twelve princes according to their nations.

17These were the years of the life of Ishmael: one hundred and thirty-seven years; and he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.

18(They dwelt from Havilah as far as Shur, which is east of Egypt as you go toward Assyria.) He died in the presence of all his brethren.

19This is the genealogy of Isaac, Abraham’s son. Abraham begot Isaac.

20Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah as wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian.
