Isaac
The promised son and father of two nations

Isaac’s page follows the KJV record of promise, birth, marriage, wells, blessing, and death. Jasher is used only to illuminate surrounding chronology and additional reported detail.

The governing order

Scripture establishes the line; Jasher supplies additional detail.

Jasher historical parallel

Additional narratives are retained as testimony and always identified by source.

No silent harmonizing

Where Jasher adds an identity, event, age, or conflict absent from Scripture, the distinction remains visible.
