¹⁰ The angel of the Lord also said to her, ^(A)“I will surely multiply your offspring so that they cannot be numbered for multitude.”

²⁰ As for Ishmael, I have heard you; behold, I have blessed him and will make him fruitful and ^(A)multiply him greatly. He ^(B)shall father twelve princes, and ^(C)I will make him into a great nation.

¹² These are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, ^(A)whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's servant, bore to Abraham. ^13 (B)These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, named in the order of their birth: ^(C)Nebaioth, the firstborn of Ishmael; and ^(D)Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, ¹⁴ Mishma, Dumah, Massa, ¹⁵ Hadad, ^(E)Tema, ^(F)Jetur, ^(G)Naphish, and Kedemah. ¹⁶ These are the sons of Ishmael and these are their names, by their villages and by their encampments, ^(H)twelve princes according to their tribes. ¹⁷ (These are the years of the life of Ishmael: 137 years. He ^(I)breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.) ^18 (J)They settled from Havilah to ^(K)Shur, which is opposite Egypt in the direction of Assyria. He settled^[a] over against all his kinsmen.

¹⁵ And the angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven ¹⁶ and said, ^(A)“By myself I have sworn, declares the Lord, because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, ¹⁷ I will surely bless you, and I will surely multiply your offspring ^(B)as the stars of heaven and ^(C)as the sand that is on the seashore. And your offspring shall possess ^(D)the gate of his^[a] enemies, ¹⁸ and ^(E)in your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, ^(F)because you have obeyed my voice.”
