A reading from the book of Genesis.

Abraham took another wife whose name was Ketura.

She bore him Zimran, Joksham, Midian, Ishbach, and Shua.

Jokshan fathered Shiba and Deden.

The sons of Deden were Ashrim, Latushim, and Laumim.

The sons of Midian were Ifa, Ifer, Hanuk, Abida, and El-da'a.

All these were the children of Ketura.

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. Abraham breathed his last and died in a good old age, an old man and full of years, and was gathered to his people. Isaac and Ishmael, his sons, buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of

Iphron, the son of Zohar the Hittite, east of Mamre, 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 Ba'ir Lahai-Roi. 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 Ishmael and Kedar, Adbiel, Mbbsam, Mishma, Duma, Masa,

Heid, Tima, Jatur, Nafish, and Kadima.

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.
