A Story Out of Order
Multiple commentators note that Isaac's death is not recorded in chronological order. Based on the timelines, Isaac lived for about another 12 years after this point in the narrative, meaning he was still alive when his grandson Joseph was sold into Egypt. The author likely placed his death here to conclude Isaac's story before shifting focus entirely to Jacob's sons.
