E29 NAMES IN THE BIBLE PART 5: ISAAC

from THE BIBLE: COVER TO COVER Podcast · host Donny Waldner

In Hebrew the name of Isaac sounds quite different then in the English: יִצְחָק yits-khawk'. The name means, "he laughs." Yitschaq (Isaac) comes from a root word (צָחַק tsaw-khak'), meaning, "to laugh." You might wonder, "Why did Yahweh Elohim chose this name for the son of promise?" It is a great question, because Isaac's story and name are a huge part of the narrative. It is a question we will explore here in this article/episode.
