[1]And it was at that time that Avraham again took a wife in his old age, and her name was K'turah, from the land of Kanaan.
[2]And she bare unto him Zimran, Yakshan, M'dan, Mid'yan, Ishbak and Shuach, being six sons. And the children of Zimran were Avihan, Molich and Merich.
[3]And the sons of Yakshan were Sheva and Dedan, and the sons of Dedan were Amidah, Yov, Gochi, Elisha, Notach; and the sons of Midyan were Efah, Afer, Chanoch, Avida and Eldaah.
[4]And the sons of Ishbak were Makiri, Bidua and Tatur.
[5]And the sons of Shuach were Bildad, Chemdad, Moshan and Mevan; all these are the families of the children of Keturah the Kanaanitess which she bore unto Avraham the Hebrew.
[6]And Avraham sent all these away, and he gave them gifts, and they went away from his son Yitz'chak to dwell wherever they should find a place.
[7]And all these went to the mountain at the east, and they built themselves six cities in which they dwelt unto this day.
[8]But the children of Sheva and Dedan, children of Yakshan, with their children, did not dwell with their brothers in their cities, and they journeyed and encamped in the countries and wildernesses unto this day.
[9]And the children of Midyan, son of Avraham, went to the east of the land of Kush, and they there found a large valley in the eastern country, and they remained there and built a city, and they dwelt therein, that is the land of Midyan unto this day.
[10]And Midyan dwelt in the city which he built, he and his five sons and all belonging to him.
[11]And these are the names of the sons of Midyan according to their names in their cities, Efah, Efer, Chanoch, Avida and Eldaa.
[12]And the sons of Efah were Metach, Meshar, Avi and Etzloa, and the sons of Efer were Efron, Tzur, Aliron and Medon, and the sons of Chanoch were Reuel, Rekem, Azai, Alyoshav and Cheled.
[13]And the sons of Avida were Chur, Melur, Karvil, Milchi; and the sons of Eldaah were Yakkir, and Reva, and Malchyah and Geval; these are the names of the Midyanites according to their families; and afterward the families of Midyan spread throughout the land of Midyan.
[14]And these are the generations of Yishmael the son Avraham, whom Hagar, Sarah's handmaid, bore unto Avraham.
[15]And Yishmael took a wife from the land of Egypt, and her name was Rivah, the same is Merivah.
[16]And Rivah bore unto Yishmael: N'vayot, Kedar, Adbeel, Mivsam and their sister Bosmat.
[17]And Yishmael cast away his wife Rivah, and she went from him and returned to Egypt to the house of her father, and she dwelt there, for she had been very bad in the eyes of Yishmael, and in the eyes of his father Avraham.
[18]And Yishmael afterward took a wife from the land of Kanaan, and her name was Malkit, and she bare unto him Mishma, Dumah, Masa, Chadad, Tema, Yetur, Nafish and Kedma.
[19]These are the sons of Yishmael, and these are their names, being twelve princes according to their nations; and the families of Yishmael afterward spread forth, and Yishmael took his children and all the property that he had gained, together with the souls of his house and all belonging to him, and they went to dwell where they should find a place.
[20]And they went and dwelt near the wilderness of Paran, and their dwelling was from Chavilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt as you come toward Assyria.
[21]And Yishmael and his sons dwelt in the land, and they had children born to them, and they were fruitful and increased abundantly.
[22]And these are the names of the sons of Nevayot the firstborn of Yishmael; Miod, Soad, Mayan; and the sons of Kedar were Alyon, Ketzem, Chemed and Eli [Ali?].
[23]And the sons of Adbeel were Chamod and Yavin; and the sons of Mibsam were Avadyah [Abdallah?], Eved-Melech and Yeush; these are the families of the children of Rivah the wife of Yishmael.
[24]And the sons of Mishma the son of Yishmael were Shamua, Zikron and Oved; and the sons of Dumah were Ketzem, Eli [Ali?], Machmad [Mohammed?] and Amad.
[25]And the sons of Masa were Malon, Mulah and Eved- Adon; and the sons of Chadad were Atzur, Mintzar and Eved-Melech; and the sons of Tema were Sair, Sadon and Yakol.
[26]And the sons of Yetur were Merik, Yaish, Alyoi, and Pachit; and the sons of Nafish were Ebed-Tamid, Aviyosef [Abu Jussuf?] and Mir; and the sons of Kedma were Kalif [Caliph?], Tachti, and Omir [Emir?]; these were the children of Malchut the wife of Yishmael according to their families.
[27]All these are the families of Yishmael according to their generations, and they dwelt in those lands wherein they had built themselves cities unto this day.
[28]And Riv'kah the daughter of Betuel, the wife of Avraham's son Yitz'chak, was barren in those days, she had no offspring; and Yitz'chak dwelt with his father in the land of Kanaan; and YHWH was with Yitz'chak; and Arpachshad the son of Shem the son of Noach died in those days, in the forty-eighth year of the life of Yitz'chak, and all the days that Arpachshad lived were four hundred and thirtyeight years, and he died.
