Translation commentary on Genesis 35:29

And Isaac breathed his last; and he died … full of days: for the wording of Isaac’s death and burial, see that of Abraham in 25.8.

And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him they could do this peacefully having become reconciled in chapter 33. According to 49.31 Isaac and Rebekah were buried in the cave of Machpelah.
