According to the understanding of many commentators "pru u'revu" (be fruitful and multiply) is a positive commandment which is not fulfilled unless a man has both a son and daughter as offspring. Based on this understanding it would seem that Yitzchak did not fulfill this commandment. Is this correct? Are there any sources that indicate that either:
- He had a daughter
- He was exempt from this mitzvah
