Where was the "blessing handed down" that you speak of?
I see in Gen 25:5 And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.
and then in Gen 25:11 And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi.
Doesn't sound like Abraham gave a blessing to Isaac, and verse 11 reads way different than the blessing God gave directly to Abraham. "blessed" in this case could mean to prosper, and not necessarily be anything more, as in Gen 26:12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.
Finally God talks to Isaac in Gen 26:24 And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake.
