A reading from the book of Genesis.

Abraham took another wife, whose name was Katora.

She bore him Zimmeran, Jokshan, Median, Ischback, and Shua.

Jokshan fathered Sheba and Deden.

The sons of Deden were Asuram, Latusham, and Leumim.

The sons of Midian were Ifa, Ifer, Heinek, Abida and Eldea.

All these were the children of Kutura.

Abraham gave all he had to Isaac, but to the sons of his concubines Abraham gave gifts,

and while he was still living, he sent them away from his son Isaac, eastward, to the east country.

These are the days of the years of Abraham's life, 175 years, and Abraham breathed his last

and died in a good old age, an old man in full of years, and was gathered to his people.

Isaac and Ishmael, his sons, buried him in the cave at Macpila. In the field of

Ephra, the son of Zohar, the Hittite, east of Mammery, the field that Abraham purchased from the

Hittites. There Abraham was buried, with Sarah his wife. After the death of Abraham, God blessed

Isaac his son, and Isaac settled at Birla Highroy. These are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's

servant bore to Abraham.

These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, named in the order of their birth, Nebaoth,

the firstborn of Ishma, Enkidar, Adbeal, Mibzam, Mishma, Duma, Massa, Hadad, Tima, Jeter, Naifish, and Kedima.

These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their villages and by their

encampments, twelve princes according to their tribes. These are the years of the life of Ishmael,

137 years. He breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.

They settled from Havela to Shur, which is opposite Egypt in the direction of Assyria.
