📚 Historical Context
In the biblical narrative, Abraham was an elderly patriarch who had received God's promises for his descendants through Isaac, his son with Sarah, as part of the covenant established earlier in Genesis. As Abraham approached the end of his life, he distributed his possessions to ensure Isaac inherited everything, which affirmed Isaac's role as the rightful heir in the family line. This act reflected the cultural norms of ancient Near Eastern societies, where inheritance was crucial for maintaining family legacy and continuity.
