What does the Bible say about favoritism in families?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible illustrates favoritism through Abraham's treatment of his sons, particularly toward Isaac as the child of promise.

Abraham’s blatant favoritism is seen in Genesis 25:5-6, where he gives all he has to Isaac, the child of promise, demonstrating his special favor toward him. This favoritism is notable as Abraham also provides for the sons of his concubines but sends them away from Isaac, indicating a clear distinction in status and blessing. Isaac, as a type of Christ, reflects a divine selection and purpose that underscores the overarching narrative of God's salvation plan.
