And Sarah my master’s wife bore a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.
36. unto him hath he given ] The servant here states that Abraham has already made over to Isaac the great bulk of his wealth, as is stated in Gen 25:5. Those who suppose that the mention of Abraham’s death originally occurred after Gen 24:9, regard this sentence as indicating Abraham’s final disposition of his property.

Verse 36. Unto him hath he given all that he hath.] He has made Isaac his sole heir. These things appear to be spoken to show the relatives of Rebekah that his master’s son was a proper match for her; for even in those primitive times there was regard had to the suitableness of station and rank in life, as well as of education, in order to render a match comfortable. Persons of dissimilar habits, as well as of dissimilar religious principles, are never likely to be very happy in a married life. Even the poor and the rich may better meet together in matrimonial alliances than the religious and the profane, the well-bred and the vulgar. A person may be unequally yoked in a great variety of ways: Bear ye one another’s burdens is the command of God; but where there is unsuitableness in the dispositions, education, mental capacity, &c., of the persons, then one side is obliged to bear the whole burden, and endless dissatisfaction is the result.

bare a son to my master when she was old; even when ninety years of age, Ge 17:17; this is mentioned because it was an extraordinary thing, and an instance of divine power and of the favour of God; and this son of their old age must be very dear unto Abraham, as it follows:
and unto him hath he given all that he hath; by his will: Jarchi says, the servant had now the schedule of all in his hands, which he showed; but this is mere conjecture.

Ver. 36. Unto him hath he given all that he hath. ] This he knew would take well with them. What hath he? is a main question. In suites both of law and of love, money weighs and sways much. R. Solomon here addeth to the text (but not well) these words, – And lo the conveyance, or deed of gift is here in mine hand.
