Genesis24:63

63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the even-tide: and he lift up his eyes, and saw, and behold, the camels were coming.

To converse with God and with himself by pious and profitable thoughts and ejaculations, and fervent prayers, as for other things, so particularly for Gods blessing upon this great affair, and so his prayers are eminently answered.

He chuseth a solitary place, wherein he might more freely attend upon God without any interruption or distraction.

That as he had begun the day with God, so he might close it with him, and commit himself to his protection. Compare Psal. 55. 17.

Marginal references: Or, to pray.
