Then he breathed his last and died and was gathered to his people, old and full of years. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him. The death notice for Isaac uses the same honorable formula as Abraham's — old and full of years, gathered to his people.

The application: the covenant patriarch is buried by both his sons — the reconciliation of Genesis 33 holds. Both sons stand at their father's grave.
