In the Bible it states the land that was given to Ishmael. Can you tell me where that is located at.

I know where Isaac's is. I read Ishmael a long time ago but I can't seem to locate it.

Thank you for a timely reply!

Are these the 12 princes the origin of the Arab lineage?

This prophecy was fulfilled in full detail Ishmael became father to 12 chieftains as shown later in Genesis 25 13 15 and 1 Chronicles 1 29 31
