Commentary on the Bible (1832)

Isaac gave up the ghost - and was gathered unto his people - See Clarke on Gen 25:8 (note). Esau and Jacob buried him - See Gen 25:9. Esau, as we have seen Genesis 33, was thoroughly reconciled to his brother Jacob, and now they both join in fraternal and filial affection to do the last kind office to their amiable father.
