What does ishmaelites mean?
- Ishmaelites
- According to the Book of Genesis, Ishmaelites (Hebrew: Bnai Yishma'el Arabic: Bani Isma'il, ) are the descendants of Ishmael, the elder son of Abraham and the descendants of the twelve sons and princes of Ishmael. Throughout history, the Ishmaelites have been associated with Arabs (more specifically, North Arabians). Indeed, two prominent North Arabian tribes, the Qedarites and Nabateans, have names corresponding to two of Ishmael's sons. The original sequence of events, who called whom which name first and how this relates to the tradition of Abraham as a patriarch and forefather is unclear. Even today, many call upon Ishmael as their people's ancestor, notably Muslim Arabs.
