Hadar
The name "Hadar" is of Hebrew origin, meaning "honor" or "splendor." In the context of Genesis 25, Hadar is listed as one of the sons of Ishmael, Abraham's son through Hagar. The mention of Hadar signifies the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham that Ishmael would be the father of twelve princes (Genesis 17:20). This name reflects the dignity and prominence that Ishmael's descendants would hold, emphasizing God's faithfulness in fulfilling His promises.

Tema
"Tema" is another son of Ishmael, and his name is associated with a region in the Arabian Peninsula. The name itself means "desert" or "south country," indicating the geographical and cultural context of Ishmael's descendants. Historically, Tema was an important caravan city, suggesting that Ishmael's lineage was involved in trade and commerce. This highlights the spread and influence of Ishmael's descendants across the region, fulfilling the prophecy of them becoming a great nation.

Jetur
The name "Jetur" is derived from a root meaning "enclosure" or "encampment." Jetur is also identified as one of the tribes that settled in the region of Gilead. This name suggests a people who were organized and established, living in fortified settlements. The mention of Jetur in this genealogy underscores the structured and enduring nature of Ishmael's descendants, who would become known for their strength and resilience.

Naphish
"Naphish" is another son of Ishmael, and his name means "refreshed" or "revived." This name may imply a sense of renewal or vitality among Ishmael's descendants. In the broader biblical narrative, the descendants of Naphish are mentioned among the tribes that were conquered by the Israelites under King David (1 Chronicles 5:19). This reflects the ongoing interactions and conflicts between the Israelites and the surrounding nations, illustrating the complex relationships in the ancient Near East.

Kedemah
The name "Kedemah" means "eastward" or "ancient." It signifies the eastern orientation of Ishmael's descendants, both geographically and culturally. The term "eastward" often carries connotations of antiquity and wisdom in biblical literature. Kedemah's inclusion in this list highlights the expansive reach of Ishmael's lineage, extending into the eastern territories. This serves as a reminder of the diverse and widespread nature of God's creation and the unfolding of His plans across different peoples and lands.

Verse 15. - Hadar, - "Chamber" (Gesenius); Ha'dad (1 Chronicles 1:30, LXX., Samaritan, and most MSS.); though Gesenius regards Hadar as probably the true reading in both places; identified with a tribe in Yemen (Gesenius); between Oman and Bahrein, a district renowned for its lancers (Keil) - and Tema, - "Desert" (Gesenius); Θαιμὰν (LXX.); the Θεμοί, on the Persian Gulf, or the tribe Bann Teim, in Hamasa (Knobel); a trading people (Job 6:19; Isaiah 21:14; Jeremiah 25:23) - Jetur, - "Enclosure" (Gesenius); the Itureans (Gesenius, Kalisch, Keil ) - Naphish, "Breathing" (Murphy); "Refreshment" (Gesenius); not yet identified - and Kedemah - "Eastward" (Gesenius); unknown.
