Commentary
4 notes on this verseAnd these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son,.... Moses, having given the genealogy of Ishmael and his posterity, returns to Isaac, the other son of Abraham, with whom and his children the following part of his history is chiefly, if not altogether concerned: Abraham begat Isaac; for the further confirmation of his being his proper legitimate son this clause is added.
This site's exposition
This is the account of Abraham's son Isaac
on Genesis 25:19-20
The toledot of Isaac opens the story of his sons. Wesley noticed how little Genesis tells of the man himself, except as it touches his father before him and his boys after him. Rebekah is named again as the daughter of Bethuel and the sister of Laban, the man Jacob will run to.

These are the generations of Isaac - This is the history of Isaac and his family. Here the sixth section of the law begins, called תולדת יעחק toledoth yitschak; as the fifth, called חיי שרה chaiye Sarah, which begins with Genesis 23, ends at the preceding verse.
