Genesis 25:13

25:13 These are the names of Ishmael’s sons, by their names according to their records: Nebaioth (Ishmael’s firstborn), Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

Genesis 25:16

25:16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names by their settlements and their camps – twelve princes according to their clans.


tn The meaning of this line is not easily understood. The sons of Ishmael are listed here “by their names” and “according to their descendants.”

tn Or “tribal chieftains.”
