Notes

Genesis 26:12–13

Isaac lived in the land as a temporary resident. God blessed him, so his crops grew well and he became very rich.

Genesis 26:1–35

This section pauses Jacob’s story to focus on Isaac. Isaac’s success and wealth in chapter 26 show that God’s blessing had passed to him (compare 25:11), even though he sometimes failed to trust God.
