# These were [Ishmael](rc://en/tw/dict/bible/names/ishmael)'s sons, and these were their names, by their villages, and by their encampments; twelve princes according to their tribes
This can be stated as two sentences. "These were the names of [Ishmael](rc://en/tw/dict/bible/names/ishmael)'s twelve sons. They led tribes that were named after them, and they each had their own villages and campsites"
# twelve
"12" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-numbers]])
# princes
Here the word "princes" means that the men were leaders or rules of the tribes; it does not mean that they were the sons of a king.
