Genesis 25:8-19 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

8. He breathed his last breath and died at an old age. He had lived a long and satisfying life.

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

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

11. After Abraham died, God blessed his son Isaac. Isaac was now living at Beer Lahai Roi.

12. This is the family history of Ishmael, Abraham’s son. (Hagar, Sarah’s Egyptian servant, was Ishmael’s mother.)

13. These are the names of Ishmael’s sons in the order they were born. The first son was Nebaioth. Then came Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

14. Mishma, Dumah, Massa,

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

16. These were Ishmael’s sons. And these are the names of the tribal leaders. They are listed according to their settlements and camps.

17. Ishmael lived 137 years. Then he breathed his last breath and died.

18. Ishmael’s descendants lived from Havilah to Shur. This is east of Egypt stretching toward Assyria. Ishmael’s descendants often attacked the descendants of his brothers.

19. This is the family history of Isaac. Abraham had a son named Isaac.
