Genesis 25:7-20
7Abraham lived for 175 years,
8and he died at a ripe old age, having lived a long and satisfying life. He breathed his last and joined his ancestors in death.
9His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, near Mamre, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite.
10This was the field Abraham had purchased from the Hittites and where he had buried his wife Sarah.
11After Abraham’s death, God blessed his son Isaac, who settled near Beer-lahai-roi in the Negev.
12This is the account of the family of Ishmael, the son of Abraham through Hagar, Sarah’s Egyptian servant.
13Here is a list, by their names and clans, of Ishmael’s descendants: The oldest was Nebaioth, followed by Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
14Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
15Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
16These twelve sons of Ishmael became the founders of twelve tribes named after them, listed according to the places they settled and camped.
17Ishmael lived for 137 years. Then he breathed his last and joined his ancestors in death.
18Ishmael’s descendants occupied the region from Havilah to Shur, which is east of Egypt in the direction of Asshur. There they lived in open hostility toward all their relatives.
19This is the account of the family of Isaac, the son of Abraham.
20When Isaac was forty years old, he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan-aram and the sister of Laban the Aramean.
