The last thing to be noted in Isaac, 1was his obedience to the Commandment of God given him by vision, spoken of, Gen. 26.6 the story runneth thus, there was in his days a great famine in Canaan, Abraham had gone down to Egypt to sojourn therein a time of dearth, for it seems to have been a place of more constant plenty then Canaan, Isaac had in his mind some thoughts of imitating his Father, God saw it not fit for him to travel thither, and therefore God appeared to him in some vision and bad him not to descend into Egypt, but to dwell or sojourn in that land, and promiseth him a blessing; accordingly Isaac stoppeth his journey, continues in Gerar, and goeth not down to Egypt. This was an act of true obedience, he would not go to the place which God forbade him to go too, though it might seem to have been fitter for his profit and advantage at that time.
