The sons of Abraham
This phrase introduces the lineage of one of the most pivotal figures in the Bible, Abraham, who is often referred to as the "father of faith." The Hebrew root for "sons" is "בָּנִים" (banim), which signifies not only biological offspring but also descendants who carry forward a legacy. Abraham's role as a patriarch is foundational in the Judeo-Christian tradition, and his faith journey is a model of obedience and trust in God. Archaeologically, Abraham is a figure rooted in the ancient Near East, and his account is intertwined with the history of the region, including the cities of Ur and Haran.

were Isaac and Ishmael
This phrase succinctly identifies the two primary sons of Abraham, each representing a significant branch of his legacy. "Isaac" (יִצְחָק, Yitzchak) means "he will laugh," a name given due to the laughter of both Abraham and Sarah at the promise of a son in their old age (Genesis 17:17, 18:12). Isaac is the child of promise, through whom God's covenant with Abraham would be fulfilled, leading to the nation of Israel. "Ishmael" (יִשְׁמָעֵאל, Yishma'el) means "God hears," reflecting God's response to Hagar's distress in the wilderness (Genesis 16:11). Ishmael is traditionally considered the ancestor of many Arab peoples, and his account highlights themes of God's provision and care even outside the primary covenant line. Historically, the distinction between Isaac and Ishmael has had profound implications, influencing religious and cultural narratives across millennia. Scripturally, their accounts are woven throughout Genesis, illustrating God's sovereignty and the unfolding of His redemptive plan through diverse peoples and nations.

Verses 28-37. - E. LIST OF THE SONS, GRANDSONS, AND OTHER DESCENDANTS OF ABRAHAM. In the first of these verses the new form of the name of Abraham is at once used in place of the old form. And the names of two of his sons are given, Isaac the son by Sarah, and Ishmael the son by Hagar, his Egyptian bondwoman. That these stand in the inverse order of their birth and age requires no explanation. The distinct and separate mention of these two sons, apart from all the others, is of course in harmony with Genesis 21:12, 13, "In Isaac shall thy seed be called. And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed." Although stated in the first place in the order of importance, and Isaac takes precedence of Ishmael, the name of this latter and of his posterity are treated of first. To note each clear instance of this kind will guard us against inferring, in cases not clear, anything positive, one way or the other, respecting seniority merely from order. The order either of age or of historic importance may be given in the first instance, to be immediately reversed in favour of the order which shall enable the writer to clear out of his way the less important.
