דברי הימים א, פרק א׳, פסוק ל״א

The genealogical record of Ishmael's family reaches its conclusion with his final descendants, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. Rather than viewing this simply as a list of individuals, the primary approach among commentators is to understand these names as the historical foundations of distinct groups. Many of the figures recorded throughout this broader family tree are widely identified with various Arabian tribes, as well as other nations that settled in close proximity to them.
