‏ Genesis 25:21

25:21  a For twenty years, Rebekah was barren (cp. 25:20  b, 26  c), like Sarah (see 16:1  d). This condition tested their faith (see study note on 16:1-3). How could they be childless when God promised that nations would issue from them?

• Isaac pleaded with the Lord and the Lord answered Isaac’s prayer. Isaac apparently learned from his father’s mistake and responded in faith.
