Ishmael

“The angel of the LORD proceeded: “Behold, you have conceived and will bear a son. And you shall name him Ishmael, for the LORD has heard your cry of affliction.”

“And Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram gave the name Ishmael to the son she had borne.”

“Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to him.”

“The sons of Abraham were Isaac and Ishmael.”

“And Abraham said to God, “O that Ishmael might live under Your blessing!””

“As for Ishmael, I have heard you, and I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and multiply him greatly. He will become the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation.”

“On that very day Abraham took his son Ishmael and all those born in his household or purchased with his money—every male among the members of Abraham’s household—and he circumcised them, just as God had told him.”

“He will be a wild donkey of a man, and his hand will be against everyone, and everyone’s hand against him; he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.””
