For Abraham, the two big commands were to leave your father's country and to offer Issac to the Lord. We see here the big command for Issac was to stay in the land even when there was a famine. On this Issac obeyed and God blessed him.
On the other hand, Issac fell into the same error as his father and lied about his wife to save his own skin. Here as with Abraham, both were chastised by pagan kings, though thankfully, Issac didn't have the disgrace of having his wife almost married to a king.
It's amazing how often the sins of the fathers are repeated by the children. This doesn't have to be the case, but the effect of the lives of parents even without intention affects the children. Let's live our lives wisely so that we don't pass on to our children the sins of our fathers and mothers.
