Genesis 25:11-21 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

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.

20. When Isaac was 40 years old, he married Rebekah. Rebekah was from Northwest Mesopotamia. She was Bethuel’s daughter and the sister of Laban the Aramean.

21. Isaac’s wife could not have children. So Isaac prayed to the Lord for her. The Lord heard Isaac’s prayer, and Rebekah became pregnant.
