“And he went up from thence to Beer–sheba.”
From there he went up to Beersheba. The movement to Beersheba — the city named for the covenant Abraham made with Abimelek in Genesis 21:31 — is the movement to the place of the covenant's previous confirmation. Isaac is returning to the geography of his father's faithfulness. The application: the places where God confirmed the covenant to previous generations are worth returning to. Beersheba carries the weight of what Abraham did there.
