In this episode, our hero of the story, Isaac, the son of Abraham and Sarah, is prepared to take his place as head of the clan — the patriarch. He has shown himself to be an obedient and steadfast young man who did not refute or disagree with whatever his father expected of him. Like his father before him, Isaac proved himself righteous and ready to be tested by God as the patriarch. Abraham’s obedience and faith were counted as righteous before the Lord. It was now time for him to pass the mantle to his son and heir, Isaac, and with this, the necessity of finding him a wife amongst the people of his own tribe. It was time for the establishment of the birthright and subsequent blessing. It was time for Isaac to marry.
