CHAPTER 26

The renewal of the promises to Isaac: — he is forbidden to go down into Egypt — the world; he is to have nothing to do with it in his Isaac position. Follows his father’s example in denying his wife; but Abraham did it in the place of promise, Isaac on lower ground (decay in the place of promise). He has “contention” and “hatred” in the place of the world; but when he gives up the wells, and gets into his own limits — Beersheba — then he is owned by those who were there.
