What does Genesis 25:20 mean?
This verse summarizes the events of Genesis 24, in which Abraham's servant travelled to the land of his people to find a wife for Isaac. We now learn that Abraham's people are Aramean. This family lived in the town named for Abraham's brother Nahor (Genesis 22:20–24), which was in the northern Mesopotamian region of Paddan-aram. Rebekah's father Bethuel and brother Laban are mentioned specifically. Later, Jacob will travel to Paddan-aram and become associated with Rebekah's brother Laban.Isaac married Rebekah when he was 40, about 35 years before the death of Abraham (Genesis 17:17; 25:7).
