What an odd thing to say.


Check this out.

Genesis 31:42(NKJV)
Unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely now you would have sent me away empty-handed. God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked you last night.”

Genesis 31:53(NKJV)
The God of Abraham, the God of Nahor, and the God of their father judge between us.” And Jacob swore by the Fear of his father Isaac. 


The fear of Isaac?  He uses the phrase twice.  I don't get it.  What exactly is he referring too?  As I recall when they parted Isaac and Jacob were on good terms.  So why "the fear of Isaac"?

Hmm.  Something to ponder.
