Berean Strong's Lexicon Yischaq: Isaac Original Word: יִצְחָק Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root צָחַק (tsachaq), meaning "to laugh" or "to rejoice." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2464 Ἰσαάκ (Isaak) - The Greek transliteration of Isaac, used in the New Testament. Usage: The name Yischaq, or Isaac, means "he laughs" or "laughter." This name was given to the son of Abraham and Sarah, reflecting the joy and surprise at his birth in their old age, as well as Sarah's laughter when she first heard the promise of his birth (Genesis 18:12). Cultural and Historical Background: Isaac is a central figure in the patriarchal narratives of the Hebrew Bible. As the son of Abraham and Sarah, he is the child of promise through whom God would establish His covenant. Isaac's life is marked by key events such as the near-sacrifice on Mount Moriah, his marriage to Rebekah, and the birth of his sons Esau and Jacob. Isaac's account is foundational to the understanding of God's covenantal promises to Israel and the unfolding of redemptive history. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originthe same as Yitschaq, q.v.
