Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac. The covenant distinction is clear and total: Isaac is the heir. The sons of the concubines receive gifts but not the primary inheritance. Galatians 4:22-23 makes this distinction theological: the son of the free woman and the son of the slave woman represent two approaches to relationship with God, and the inheritance belongs to the free woman's son. The application: the covenant inheritance is not divided among all possibilities but concentrated in the line of the promise.
