Isaac (Yitzchak or Yitzhak) (יִצְחָק "laughed", Standard Hebrew , Tiberian Hebrew ; Arabic اسحاق ) is the son and heir of Abraham and the father of Jacob and Esau as described in the Hebrew Bible. His story is told in the Book of Genesis.
Name
Isaac was named because when his mother,
Sarah, overheard that she would bear a child in her old age, she laughed (Genesis 18:10-15, 21:6-7). Some commentators believe that in the
Book of Amos there is some suggestion that
Israel may actually be another name for Isaac (
Amos 7:9, 16) despite the Bible stating that
Israel is the later name given to Isaac's son
Jacob (
Genesis 32:22-28, especially 28).
