a brouhaha In the making Genesis chapter 25 verses 19 through 34, sometimes one catches glimpses of trouble that will not fully erupt until much later. For example, in my own country, the United States of America Patrick Henry, one of its slave owning. Founding fathers, admitted that slavery contradicted the ideals of the american revolution. And in 1790, James Madison called slavery a deep rooted abuse and the arguments used to support slavery shamefully indecent Long before 1861 and the bloodshed of the war between the states, there was already at least among some and uneasily conscience over slavery, there were indicators of what might be coming down the road. Likewise, here in this text, one doesn't see the brouhaha yet only the ingredients that indicated is coming fetuses smashing each other in the womb verse 22 parental favoritism verse 28 the birthright sale versus 29 through 34. Here at chapter 25: verse 19, we arrive at the generations of Isaac. The word is Toledo and it occurs over 10 times in genesis and headings like this generations doesn't convey the sense very well. The word is from the root yella to bear beget give birth and refers to what is produced or what develops from a person. So the Toledo of Isaac here does not have much to do with Isaac except a bit here and in chapter 26, but primarily refers to what is developed from Isaac namely Jacob and matters referring to him. So two. In chapter 37 verse two, when the text speaks of the total dose of Jacob, the focus is on joseph and his brothers, i. E. What developed out of Jacob, something like developing a story or ensuing story might best capture the idea. In any case the toll a tote of Isaac takes in chapter 25 verse 19 through chapter 25, verse 29 and mostly focuses on Jacob. This is the chunk of our text More specifically now, we focus on chapter 25 verses 19 through 34 and simply want to ask what it is that we are meant to see here. First off, we run into the typical difficulty of God's people. Verses 19 through 21 Here are Isaac and Rebecca. But Rebecca is Barren verse 21 looks like a rerun. Sarah was barren. Chapter 11 verse 30 And it took up 10 chapters in Genesis before Isaac was born. Chapter 21. Now Rebecca repeats repeats the pattern And it's really difficult to become a great nation. Chapter 12 verse two without a biological starter kit. Unlike Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebecca do not use some facsimile of the Hagar Method. Chapter 16 Instead, Isaac Resorts to Prayer Verse 21, a john cure ID notes that the Hebrew terminology indicates that Isaac did more than pray for his wife but he prayed in front of her in her presence. Yeah, we granted the request. Rebecca becomes pregnant Verse 20 says that Isaac was 40 when he married Rebecca and verse 26 says that he was 60 when the twins were born, Hence 20 long years of childlessness.
