# These were the years of the life of Ishmael, 137 years

"These were ... Ishmael, one hundred and thirty-seven years." Ishmael lived 137 years. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-numbers]])

# breathed his last and died

The terms "breathed his last" and "died" mean basically the same thing. Alternate translation: "died" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet]])

# was gathered to his people
|

|

This means that after Ishmael died, his soul went to the same place as his relatives who died before him. This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "he joined his family members who had already died" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
