FROM thence Jacob came to Hebron, a city situate among the Canaanites;
and there it was that Isaac lived: and so they lived together for a little
while; for as to Rebeka, Jacob did not find her alive. Isaac also died
not long after the coming of his son; and was buried by his sons, with
his wife, in Hebron, where they had a monument belonging to them from their
forefathers. Now Isaac was a man who was beloved of God, and was vouchsafed
great instances of providence by God, after Abraham his father, and lived
to be exceeding old; for when he had lived virtuously one hundred and eighty-five
years, he then died.
