gave up the ghost, &c. Cf. the same phrase in Genesis 25:8; Genesis 49:33.

Esau and Jacob According to P, Esau and Jacob meet at the burial of Isaac, just as Ishmael and Isaac met to bury Abraham, Genesis 25:9.

The Book of Jubilees (chs. 37, 38) relates that, after Isaac's death, Esau was stirred up by his sons to attack Jacob with an army; and that Esau said: "If the boar can change its skin, and make its bristles as soft as wool … then will I observe the tie of brotherhood with thee, &c." Whereupon Jacob, listening to the advice of Judah his son, "bent his bow and sent forth the arrow and struck Esau his brother on the right breast and slew him."
