“And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.”
Isaac then made a feast for them, and they ate and drank. The covenant meal seals the treaty — the same pattern as Abraham's covenant with Abimelek in Genesis 21:27-31. The feast is the act of hospitality that marks the transition from negotiation to covenant. Luke 15:23-24 pictures feasting as the sign of covenant restoration. The application: the feast that follows reconciliation is not incidental but integral. The eating together is the covenant sealed.
