Genesis 25:1-34: Summary: Abraham's story closes with details concerning his descendants through Keturah. God's faithfulness to his promise in Genesis 15:5 is fleshed out in the nations and peoples represented by this family tree. But the focus is on God's promise of not just a multitude of children, but a singular offspring. Abraham's protection and preparation for Isaac to inherit is in the forefront. And so one chapter (not a literal one in Genesis!) closes and another begins. But Isaac's story is fractured at best. Immediately, we are directed to brewing conflict. From the womb, twin sons of Isaac, Esau and Jacob, are at anything but peace. They are different in appearance, different in demeanor. There is to be division between them, and lines drawn within the family. But God has made his choice and an inheritance of this magnitude is not something that can be appropriated by strength of arm or human cunning.
