Usage: The name יִשְׁמָעֵאל (Jishmael) is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, primarily referring to the son of Abraham and Hagar, the Egyptian maidservant of Sarah. It is also used for other individuals in the biblical narrative. Context: • Ishmael, Son of Abraham: Ishmael is the firstborn son of Abraham, born to Hagar, Sarah's Egyptian maidservant, as recorded in Genesis 16. His birth was a result of Sarah's barrenness and her decision to give Hagar to Abraham to bear a child. The angel of the LORD prophesied Ishmael's birth and his future, stating, "He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone, and everyone's hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers" (Genesis 16:12, BSB). Ishmael is considered the ancestor of the Ishmaelites, a nomadic people mentioned throughout the Old Testament.
