¹⁰ Then the Angel of the Lord said to her, ^(A)“I will multiply your descendants exceedingly, so that they shall not be counted for multitude.”

²⁰ And as for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and ^(A)will multiply him exceedingly. He shall beget ^(B)twelve princes, ^(C)and I will make him a great nation.

¹⁸ Arise, lift up the lad and hold him with your hand, for ^(A)I will make him a great nation.”

The Families of Ishmael and Isaac^(A)

¹² Now this is the ^(B)genealogy of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s maidservant, bore to Abraham. ¹³ And ^(C)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, ¹⁴ Mishma, Dumah, Massa, ^15 [a]Hadar, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. ¹⁶ These were the sons of Ishmael and these were their names, by their towns and their ^[b]settlements, ^(D)twelve princes according to their nations. ¹⁷ These were the years of the life of Ishmael: one hundred and thirty-seven years; and ^(E)he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people. ^18 (F)(They dwelt from Havilah as far as Shur, which is east of Egypt as you go toward Assyria.) He ^[c]died ^(G)in the presence of all his brethren.
