SEV Biblia, Chapter 25:15
Hadar, y Tema, y Jetur, y Nafis, y Cedema.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 25:15
Verse 15. Hadar] This name should be read Hadad as in 1 Chron. i. 30. This reading is supported by more than three hundred MSS., versions, and printed editions. See at ""ver. 18"". Tema] Supposed to be a place in Arabia Deserta, the same of which Job speaks, Job vi. 19.
Jetur] From whom came the Itureans, who occupied a small tract of country beyond Jordan, which was afterwards possessed by the half-tribe of Manasseh.
Naphish] These are evidently the same people mentioned 1 Chron. v. 19, who, with the Itureans and the people of Nadab, assisted the Hagarenes against the Israelites, but were overcome by the two tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half- tribe of Manasseh.
Kedemah] Probably the descendants of this person dwelt at Kedemoth, a place mentioned Deut. ii. 26. I wish the reader to observe, that concerning those ancient tribes mentioned here or elsewhere in the Pentateuch little is known; nor of their places of settlement have we more certain information. On this subject many learned men have toiled hard with but little fruit of their labour. Those who wish to enter into discussions of this nature must consult Bochart's Geographia Sacra, Calmet, &c.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 11-18 - Ishmael had twelve sons, whose families became distinct tribes. The peopled a very large country that lay between Egypt and Assyria, calle Arabia. The number and strength of this family were the fruit of the promise, made to Hagar and to Abraham, concerning Ishmael.
