Came unto Isaac, &c.— Came to dwell with him, and comfort him in his old age; as it is hardly to be supposed, that this was the first visit he made him after his return from Laban. He continued with the good old man almost the space of thirteen, some say nineteen years, till he departed this life in a very advanced age, being a hundred and eighty years old, Genesis 35:28 five years older than his father Abraham, having been almost blind and decrepit a considerable part of the time, but always respectable for his piety, tranquillity, and submission to the will of God. His two sons Jacob and Esau, who continued to live in friendship, united in paying the last office to their father, and buried him in the cave of Machpelah with Abraham and Sarah. It should be remembered, that the death of Isaac is mentioned here by anticipation, for he lived twelve years after Joseph was sold into AEgypt.
