Mishma
Mishma is listed as one of the sons of Ishmael, the son of Abraham and Hagar. This name appears in genealogical records, emphasizing the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham that he would be the father of many nations. The name Mishma means "hearing" or "obedience," which may reflect the cultural importance of listening and obedience in the patriarchal narratives. Mishma's descendants likely settled in the Arabian Peninsula, contributing to the diverse tribes that emerged from Ishmael.

Dumah
Dumah is another son of Ishmael, and his name is associated with silence or stillness. Dumah is also mentioned in Isaiah 21:11, where it is used as a symbolic name for Edom, suggesting a connection or influence between these regions. The descendants of Dumah likely inhabited areas in northern Arabia, and the name may also refer to a specific location known for its quietness or isolation.

Massa
Massa is one of the lesser-known sons of Ishmael, and his name means "burden" or "oracle." The descendants of Massa are believed to have settled in the Arabian desert. The name's meaning could imply a role in carrying messages or prophecies, which aligns with the broader biblical theme of God communicating through various peoples and tribes. The region associated with Massa may have been involved in trade routes, contributing to the spread of ideas and culture.

Hadad
Hadad is a name that appears multiple times in the Bible, often associated with Edomite kings. However, in this context, Hadad is a son of Ishmael. The name means "mighty" or "thunder," and it is also the name of a storm god in ancient Near Eastern cultures. This reflects the syncretism and cultural exchanges between the Israelites and their neighbors. The descendants of Hadad likely played a role in the regional dynamics of power and influence.

Tema
Tema is both a son of Ishmael and a region in northwestern Arabia, known for its oasis and strategic location on trade routes. The name means "desert" or "south country," highlighting the geographical and environmental characteristics of the area. Tema is mentioned in Job 6:19 and Isaiah 21:14, indicating its significance in trade and as a place of refuge. The descendants of Tema would have been integral to the economic and cultural exchanges in the ancient Near East.

Teaching Points
Understanding Genealogies
Genealogies in the Bible serve to connect historical accounts and fulfill God's promises. They remind us of God's faithfulness across generations.

Significance of Names
The meanings of names in biblical genealogies often reflect character traits or prophetic insights. Reflect on the significance of your own name and identity in Christ.

God's Sovereignty in History
The inclusion of Ishmael's descendants in the biblical record demonstrates God's sovereign plan and His concern for all nations, not just Israel.

Cultural and Geographical Context
Understanding the cultural and geographical context of biblical names and places enriches our comprehension of Scripture and its historical setting.

Legacy and Influence
Consider the legacy you are leaving for future generations. How does your life reflect God's promises and faithfulness?(30) Dumah.--Isaiah 21:11, as a name of Edom. There is still a locality bearing this name, "Duma the Rocky," on the borders of the Syrian desert and Arabia.

Hadad.--The right reading here and in Genesis.

Tema.--Taima'u, in the north of the Arabian desert. The LXX. confuses it with Teman. (Assyr. Temal'a).
