2 | who are these twelve princes? | Gen 25:16 | BradK | 170574 | ||
Hi Zach, The Twelve Princes is referred to in both Gen. 17:20 and 25:16. "These are the sons of Ishmael and these are their names, by their villages, and by their camps; twelve princes according to their tribes." The Bible Knowledge Commentary notes this about 17:20: "17:19-22. Yet God assured him that she would bear . . . a son whose name would be Isaac, meaning “he laughs” (v. 19). His name would be a constant reminder that a word from God was laughed at. Ishmael was not forgotten, however, for God said he would have many descendants also. Even the number of Ishmael’s sons—12—was predicted. Their names are recorded in 25:13-15." The Commentary Critical says this about 25:16: "Ge 25:12–18. Descendants of Ishmael.Before passing to the line of the promised seed, the historian gives a brief notice of Ishmael, to show that the promises respecting that son of Abraham were fulfilled—first, in the greatness of his posterity (compare Ge 17:20); and, secondly, in their independence." I hope this helps, BradK |
