John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 25:19

Verse 19 19.These are the generations of Isaac. Because what Moses has said concerning the Ishmaelites was incidental, he now returns to the principal subject of the history, for the purpose of describing the progress of the Church. And in the first place, he repeats that Isaac’s wife was taken from Mesopotamia. He expressly calls her the sister of Laban the Syrian, who was hereafter to become the father-in-law of Jacob, and concerning whom he had many things to relate. But it is chiefly worthy... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 25:1-18

The line of blessing. Although Abraham has many descendants, he carefully distinguishes the line of the Divine blessing. His peaceful end at 175 years set the seal upon a long life of faith and fellowship with God. His two sons, Isaac and Ishmael, met at their father's grave, although living apart. The influence of such a character as Abraham's is very elevating and healing, even in the sphere of the world. Ishmael is not entirely forgotten, but Isaac, as the true heir of Abraham, hands on... read more

The generations of Ishmael, or the biography of a prince. I. THE PRINCE 'S NAME . Ishmael. 1. The significance of his name. "God hears.' It was thus a perpetual reminder to its bearer of a grand religious truth, that God is essentially a hearer of prayer, and that he is never far from any of his intelligent and needy creatures. 2. The occasion of his getting it. 3. The verification of his name. When he lay beneath the shrub God heard the voice of his distressful cry... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 25:16

These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns ,—unwalled encampments, from hatzar , to surround; used of the movable villages of nomadic tribes (cf. Isaiah 42:11 )— and by their castles; —fortified keeps (Murphy); tent villages (Keil); nomadic camps (Kalisch). Cf. Numbers 31:10 ; 1 Chronicles 6:39 ; Psalms 69:26 ; Ezekiel 25:4 )— twelve princes —this does not imply that Ishmael had only twelve sons, like Israel—a very suspicious circumstance (De... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 25:17-18

And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years :—a life shorter by nearly half a century than that of Isaac ( Genesis 35:21 ); does this prove the life-prolonging influence of piety?— and he gave up the ghost and died; and wee gathered unto his people ( vide on Genesis 25:8 ). And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward; Assyria ( vide Genesis 10:29 ; Genesis 16:7 ): and He died —literally, fell ... read more

§ 9. THE GENERATIONS OF ISAAC (Ge 25:19-35:29). 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. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 25:19-34

Divine purposes unfolded. We are now entering a new stage of the sacred history, where we are looking less upon the development of one man's character than upon the unfolding purposes of Jehovah in the family with which he has made his covenant. Again we are in the region of— 1. Gracious interposition . 2. Supernatural assistance of human infirmity . 3. Prophetic announcements . The atmosphere is that of the covenant. The children in the womb are two nations. The... read more
