Isaac[a] is one of the three
patriarchs of the
Israelites and an important figure in the
Abrahamic religions, including
Judaism,
Christianity, and
Islam. He was the son of
Abraham and
Sarah, the father of
Jacob and
Esau, and the grandfather of the
twelve tribes of Israel.
Isaac's name means "he will laugh", reflecting the laughter, in disbelief, of Abraham and Sarah, when told by God that they would have a child.
[1][2] He is the only patriarch whose name was not changed, and the only one who did not move out of
Canaan.
[2] According to the narrative, he died aged 180, the longest-lived of the three patriarchs.
