And Abram [was] eighty years old when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram. Which is easily reckoned, for he was seventy five years of age when he left Haran, Ge 12:4; and he had been ten years in Canaan when Hagar was given him by Sarai for his wife, Ge 16:3; and so must be then eighty five years of age, and of course must be eighty six when Ishmael was born.
