Abraham
The name "Abraham" is derived from the Hebrew root "אַב" (av), meaning "father," and "רָהָם" (raham), meaning "multitude" or "many." Abraham is a central figure in the Bible, known as the father of faith. His life is a testament to obedience and trust in God's promises. Historically, Abraham is considered the patriarch of the Israelites, and his covenant with God is foundational to the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic faiths. His legacy is one of faithfulness and divine blessing, setting a precedent for future generations.

left everything
The phrase "left everything" signifies the act of bequeathing or transferring ownership. In the Hebrew context, this is more than a mere distribution of wealth; it is a passing on of responsibility, blessing, and covenantal promise. Abraham's decision to leave everything to Isaac underscores the importance of Isaac as the chosen heir through whom God's promises would continue. This act reflects the cultural and familial practices of inheritance, where the firstborn or chosen son would receive the father's estate and spiritual legacy.

he owned
The term "he owned" refers to all of Abraham's possessions, which included not only material wealth such as livestock, silver, and gold but also the intangible blessings and promises of God. In the ancient Near Eastern context, wealth was often measured by livestock and land, and Abraham was described as very wealthy. However, the true value of what Abraham owned was the covenant with God, which promised numerous descendants and a land for his people. This inheritance was both physical and spiritual, encompassing the totality of Abraham's life and relationship with God.

to Isaac
The name "Isaac" comes from the Hebrew "יִצְחָק" (Yitzhak), meaning "he will laugh" or "laughter," reflecting the joy and surprise of his birth to Sarah and Abraham in their old age. Isaac is the child of promise, the one through whom God's covenant with Abraham would be fulfilled. By leaving everything to Isaac, Abraham was affirming God's choice and the continuation of the divine promise. Isaac's role as the recipient of this inheritance is crucial, as it sets the stage for the unfolding of God's plan through the lineage of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, leading to the nation of Israel and ultimately to the coming of the Messiah.

Verses 5, 6. - And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac. I.e. constituted him his chief heir, according to previous Divine appointment (Genesis 15:4), and made over to him the bulk of his possessions (Genesis 24:36). But unto the sons of the concubines (Hagar and Keturah), which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, - "doubtless established them as youthful nomads" (Lunge) and sent them away from Isaac his son, - Ishmael's dismissal took place long before (Genesis 21:14); probably he then received his portion while he yet lived (i.e. during Abraham's lifetime) eastward, unto the east country (or Arabia in the widest sense; to the east and south-east of Palestine).
