SEV Biblia, Chapter 25:14
y Misma, y Duma, y Massa,
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 25:14
Verse 14. Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa] Where the first and last of these settled is not known; but it is probable that Dumah gave his name to a place called Dumah in Arabia. See a prophecy concerning this place, Isa. xxi. 11, from which we find that it was in the vicinity of Mount Seir. These three names have passed into a proverb among the Hebrews, because of their signification. [mm mishma signifies HEARING; hmwd dumah, SILENCE; and am massa, PATIENCE. Hence, ""Hear much, say little, and bear much,"" tantamount to the famous maxim of the Stoics, anecou kai apecou, ""Sustain and abstain,"" is supposed to be the spirit of the original words.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 11-18 - Ishmael had twelve sons, whose families became distinct tribes. The peopled a very large country that lay between Egypt and Assyria, calle Arabia. The number and strength of this family were the fruit of the promise, made to Hagar and to Abraham, concerning Ishmael.
