Isaac

Facts:

Isaac was the only son of Abraham and Sarah. God had promised to give them a son even though they were very old.

  • The name "Isaac" means "he laughs." When God told Abraham that Sarah would give birth to a son, Abraham laughed because they were both very old. Some time later, Sarah also laughed when she heard this news.
  • But God fulfilled his promise and Isaac was born to Abraham and Sarah in their old age.
  • God told Abraham that the covenant he had made with Abraham would also be for Isaac and his descendants forever.
  • When Isaac was a youth, God tested Abraham's faith by commanding him to sacrifice Isaac.
  • Isaac's son Jacob had twelve sons whose descendants later became the twelve tribes of the nation of Israel.

Examples from the Bible stories:

*05:04 "Your wife, Sarai, will have a son—he will be the son of promise. Name him Isaac." *05:06 When Isaac was a young man, God tested Abraham's faith by saying, "Take Isaac, your only son, and kill him as a sacrifice to me." *05:09 God had provided the ram to be the sacrifice instead of Isaac. *06:01 When Abraham was very old and his son, Isaac, had grown to be a man, Abraham sent one of his servants back to the land where his relatives lived to find a wife for his son, Isaac. *06:05 Isaac prayed for Rebekah, and God allowed her to get pregnant with twins. *07:10 Then Isaac died, and Jacob and Esau buried him. The covenant promises God had promised to Abraham and then to Isaac now passed on to Jacob.
