from the
land of Canaan.

2.                 
And she bare unto him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak and Shuach, being six sons. And the children of Zimran were Abihen, Molich and Narim.

6.                 
And Abraham sent all these away, and
he gave them gifts, and they went away from his son Isaac 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 Sheba and Dedan, children of Jokshan, with
their children, did not dwell with their brethren in their cities, and they
journeyed and encamped in the countries and wildernesses unto this day.

9.                 
And the children of Midian, son of Abraham, went to the east of the land of Cush, 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 Midian unto this
day.

17.            
And Ishmael cast away his wife Ribah, 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 sight of
Ishmael, and in the sight of his father Abraham.

18.            
And Ishmael afterward took a wife
from the
land of Canaan, and her
name was Malchuth, and she bare unto him Nishma, Dumah, Masa, Chadad, Tema,

all the property that he had gained, together with the souls of his household
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 Havilah unto Shur, that is before
Egypt as thou comest toward Assyria.

21.            
And Ishmael and his sons dwelt in the
land, and they had children born to them, and they were fruitful and increased
abundantly.

the life of Isaac, and all the days that Arpachshad
lived were four hundred and thirty-eight years, and he died.
