Genesis 25:21

²¹Isaac pleaded with the Lord on behalf of his wife, because she was unable to have children. The Lord answered Isaac’s prayer, and Rebekah became pregnant with twins.b

Genesis 25 marks a significant transition in the patriarchal narrative, detailing the end of Abraham's life and the beginning of the next generation's story. It records Abraham's final years, his marriage to Keturah, and his death, emphasizing his blessed and fulfilled life. The chapter then shifts focus to Isaac's family, specifically the birth of Jacob and Esau, highlighting their immediate rivalry and the prophetic word concerning their destinies. This sets the stage for the unfolding drama of God's covenant promises through Isaac's lineage.
