Given by: Isaac, pointing to his own example of joyful, righteous worship. Given to: his sons, that they and their seed might be established as a lasting plant of righteousness.

A patriarch's testament passed on the family's God and ways; the image of a 'plant of righteousness which will not be rooted out' promises permanence to a people tempted to think faithfulness futile under foreign pressure.

Remember ye, my sons, the Lord God of Abraham your father, and how I too worshipped Him and served Him in righteousness and in joy, that He might multiply you and increase your seed as the stars of heaven in multitude, and establish you on the earth as the plant of righteousness which will not be rooted out unto all the generations for ever.

Isaac tells his sons to remember the Lord and, like him, serve God in righteousness and joy — so that they become an enduring plant of righteousness.
