Sent eastward with gifts
Abraham gave gifts to Jisbak and his brothers and sent them eastward, away from Isaac who was the primary heir, while Abraham was still alive.
6But to the sons of his concubines Abraham gave gifts, and while he was still alive he sent them away from his son Isaac, eastward to the land of the east.
