Αυτη δε ειναι η γενεαλογια του Ισμαηλ, υιου του Αβρααμ, τον οποιον εγεννησεν εις τον Αβρααμ Αγαρ η Αιγυπτια, η δουλη της Σαρρας·

3266. 'These are the names of the sons of Ishmael' means the essential characteristics of those people's forms of doctrine, that is to say, of those who are spiritual. This is clear from the meaning of 'name' as the essential nature, dealt with in 144, 145, 1754, 1896, 2009, 2724, 3006, from the meaning of 'sons' as truths, and also matters of doctrine, dealt with in 489, 491, 533, 1147, 2623, and from the representation of 'Ishmael' as those who are spiritual, dealt with above in 3263.
