Genesis 25:19 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 25:19

And these [are] the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son
Moses, having given the genealogy of Ishmael and his posterity, returns to Isaac, the other son of Abraham, with whom and his children the following part of his history is chiefly, if not altogether concerned: Abraham begat Isaac;
for the further confirmation of his being his proper legitimate son this clause is added.

Genesis 25:19 In-Context

17 Ishmael lived a total of 137 years. Then he took his last breath and died. He joined the members of his family who had already died.
18 His children settled in the area between Havilah and Shur. It was near the eastern border of Egypt, as you go toward Asshur. Ishmael's children weren't friendly toward any of the tribes that were related to them.
19 Here is the story of Abraham's son Isaac. Abraham was the father of Isaac.
20 Isaac was 40 years old when he married Rebekah. She was the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan Aram. She was also the sister of Laban the Aramean.
21 Rebekah couldn't have children. So Isaac prayed to the LORD for her. And the LORD answered his prayer. His wife Rebekah became pregnant.
