What does Genesis 25:11 mean?

This verse says explicitly "the blessing," God's favor and promises for Abraham, moved to Isaac, as it would later move to Jacob. In spite of Ishmael's presence at Abraham's burial, Isaac was the promised child and the one chosen both by God and Abraham to continue the line of God's own people (Genesis 17:18–19). This oath is reflected in God's blessings on Isaac, which continue after the death of his influential father.

Isaac settled at Beer-lahai-roi. One of Genesis' famous wells is located here. It's the place where Hagar heard from the Lord (Genesis 16:14) and was apparently Isaac's preferred spot in the region at that time.
