This is the account
The phrase "This is the account" serves as a toledot, a Hebrew term meaning "generations" or "descendants." It is a structural marker in Genesis, dividing the narrative into sections and indicating a new focus. Here, it transitions from the account of Abraham to that of Isaac, emphasizing the continuity of God's covenant promises through generations. This phrase invites readers to reflect on the unfolding of God's plan through specific family lines, underscoring the importance of lineage in biblical history.

of Abraham’s son Isaac
The mention of "Abraham’s son Isaac" highlights the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham. Isaac, whose name means "laughter" in Hebrew, was the child of promise, born to Abraham and Sarah in their old age. This phrase not only identifies Isaac's lineage but also reinforces the miraculous nature of his birth, a testament to God's faithfulness and power. Isaac's role as the heir of Abraham's covenant is central to the narrative, as he carries forward the divine promises given to his father.

Abraham became the father of Isaac
This statement reaffirms the patriarchal lineage, emphasizing Abraham's role as the progenitor of the covenant line. The Hebrew verb used here for "became the father" is "yalad," which conveys the idea of begetting or bringing forth. This phrase underscores the divine intervention in Isaac's birth, as Abraham and Sarah were beyond natural childbearing years. It serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty and the miraculous nature of His promises, encouraging believers to trust in His timing and provision.

THE T?LD?TH ISAAC (Genesis 25:19 to Genesis 35:29).

THE BIRTH OF ISAAC'S SONS.

Abraham begat Isaac--The Toldoth in its original form gave probably a complete genealogy of Isaac, tracing up his descent to Shem, and showing thereby that the right of primogeniture belonged to him; but the inspired historian uses only so much of this as is necessary for tracing the development of the Divine plan of human redemption.

The Syrian.--Really, the Aramean, or descendant of Aram. (See Genesis 10:22-23.) The name of the district also correctly is "Paddan-Ararn," and so far from being identical with Aram-Naharaim, in Genesis 24:10, it is strictly the designation of the region immediately in the neighbourhood of Charran. The assertion of Gesenius that it meant "Mesopotamia, with the desert to the west of the Euphrates, in opposition to the mountainous district towards the Mediterranean," is devoid of proof. (See Chwolsohn, Die Ssabier, 1, p. 304.) In Syriac, the language of Charran, padana means a plough (1Samuel 13:20), or a yoke of oxen ( 1Samuel 11:7); and this also suggests that it was the cultivated district close to the town. In Hosea 12:12 it is said that "Jacob fled to the field of Aram;" but this is a very general description of the country in which he found refuge, and affords no basis for the assertion that Padan-aram was the level region. Finally, the assertion that it is an ancient name used by the Jehovist is an assertion only. It is the name of a special district, and the knowledge of it was the result of Jacob's long-continued stay there. Chwolsohn says that traces of the name still remain in Faddan and Tel Faddan, two places close to Charran, mentioned by Yacut, the Arabian geographer, who flourished in the thirteenth century. . . .

Verse 19. - And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son. The usual formula for the opening of a new section (cf. Genesis 2:4). Abraham begat Isaac. A reiteration in perfect harmony not only with the style of the present narrative, but of ancient historiography in general; in this instance specially designed to connect the subsequent streams of Isaac's posterity with their original fountain-head in Abraham.
