ગુજરાતીઉત્પત્તિ ૧૭:૨૦
ઇશ્માએલ માટે, મેં તારું સાંભળ્યું છે. જો, મેં તેને આશીર્વાદ આપ્યો છે, હું તેને સફળ કરીશ અને તેને અતિ ઘણો વધારીશ. તે બાર કુળોના આગેવાનોનો પિતા થશે અને હું તેનાં સંતાનોની એક મોટી કોમ બનાવીશ.
हिन्दीउत्पत्ति १७:२०
इश्माएल के विषय में भी मैंने तेरी सुनी है; मैं उसको भी आशीष दूँगा, और उसे फलवन्त करूँगा और अत्यन्त ही बढ़ा दूँगा; उससे बारह प्रधान उत्पन्न होंगे, और मैं उससे एक बड़ी जाति बनाऊँगा।
