Ibn Ezra on Genesis 35:29/אבן עזרא על בראשית ל״ה:כ״ט
אויגוע יצחק. וכאשר מת יצחק ונאסף אל עמיו קברו אותו עשו ויעקב כאשר נולדו ולמעלה אמר יצחק וישמעאל (בראשית כה ט) בעבור היות ישמעאל בן השפחה:
1AND ISAAC EXPIRED. When Isaac died and was gathered to his people Easu and Jacob buried him.23 should be rendered: And when Isaac expired and died, etc. (Krinsky). Scripture mentions Esau24 before Jacob because the Pentateuch follows the order of their birth. However, in relating the burial of Abraham the Bible reads, And Isaac and Ishmael25 his sons buried him (Gen. 25:9) because Ishmael was the son of a handmaid.
