Where does the Bible say Arabs are from?

Through Abram's union with Hagar and his son Ishmael, 12 Princes would become part of the Arab peoples (see Genesis 17:19-20). Ishmael went on to become the father of many Arab nations. Abraham's son of the Promises, Isaac, fathered 2 sons, Esau and Jacob. It would be Esau who becomes the father of the people the Bible calls the Edomites or Idumeans (see Genesis 27).


What is the Biblical Cause of the Arab-Israeli Conflict?

Arabs and Jews consider themselves descended from Abraham's sons Ishmael and Isaac respectively. Abraham aggressively kicked his maidservant Hagar and her son Ishmael out of the house in order for his son Isaac (born of his wife Sarah) to have primary attention. Jews and Christians assert that Abraham had a more special relationship with Isaac, taking him up a mountain in an attempt to sacrifice him. Muslims allege the same story, but with Ishmael. So, many claim that Jews and Arabs have a sibling rivalry of sorts coming from this moment. However, both the Bible and Qur'an make it very clear that after the halted sacrifice, Ishmael and Isaac actually spent a good deal of time together and remained on good terms. In fact, Isaac's son Esau married one of Ishmael's daughters.
