📚 Historical Context
This occurred during a time of famine when Isaac had moved to Gerar in Philistine territory. While others were struggling with crop failure, Isaac chose to stay and farm the land rather than continue traveling to Egypt as originally planned. His extraordinary harvest stood in stark contrast to the famine conditions around him.
