After Abraham’s death
This phrase marks a significant transition in the biblical narrative. Abraham, the patriarch of the Israelite nation, has passed away, and the mantle of leadership and blessing is now being transferred. The Hebrew word for "death" here is "mavet," which signifies not just the end of life but also a transition to a new phase in God's plan. Abraham's death is not the end of God's promises; rather, it is a continuation through his descendants. This highlights the enduring nature of God's covenant, which transcends individual lifespans and is fulfilled across generations.

God blessed
The Hebrew word for "blessed" is "barak," which means to kneel, to praise, or to salute. In this context, it signifies divine favor and empowerment. God's blessing is not merely a wish for prosperity but an active endowment of His grace and presence. This blessing is a continuation of the covenant promise made to Abraham, now being passed to Isaac. It underscores the faithfulness of God in fulfilling His promises and the importance of divine blessing in the life of the covenant community.

his son Isaac
Isaac, whose name means "laughter," is the child of promise, born to Abraham and Sarah in their old age. His role as the recipient of God's blessing is crucial in the unfolding of the Abrahamic covenant. Isaac's life is marked by moments of faith and obedience, and he serves as a bridge between the patriarchal promises and their future fulfillment. The mention of Isaac here emphasizes the continuity of God's plan and the importance of family lineage in the biblical narrative.

who lived near Beer-lahai-roi
Beer-lahai-roi, meaning "the well of the Living One who sees me," is a location of deep spiritual significance. It is the place where Hagar, Sarah's maidservant, encountered God in the wilderness (Genesis 16:14). The name itself is a reminder of God's omnipresence and His ability to see and provide for His people. Isaac's residence near this well suggests a life lived in the awareness of God's presence and provision. It serves as a geographical and spiritual anchor, reminding readers of God's faithfulness and the importance of dwelling in places where God's presence has been historically manifested.

(11) God blessed his son Isaac.--With this general summary the Toldoth Terah concludes, and no portion of Holy Scripture is more interesting or valuable; for in it the broad foundation is laid for the fulfilment of the protevangelium contained in Genesis 3:15, the progenitor of the chosen race is selected and proved on trial. and the preparation made for the giving of the Law, and for the growing light of prophecy, by the nearness wherewith Abraham walked with God.

Verse 11. - And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God - Elohim; whence the preceding section is ascribed to the Elohist; but the general name of God is here employed because the statement partakes merely of the nature of an intimation that the Divine blessing descended upon Isaac by inheritance (Hengstenberg), and the particular blessing of which the historian speaks is not so much the spiritual and eternal blessings of the covenant, as the material and temporal prosperity with which Isaac, in comparison with other men, was enriched (Murphy) - blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahai-roi (vide Genesis 16:14; Genesis 24:62).
