><>...Isaac...><>

[EYE zik] (laughter)-- the only son of Abraham by his wife Sarah, father of Jacob and Esau. God promised to make Abraham's descendants a great nation that would become God's Chosen People. But the promised son was a long time in coming. Isaac was born when Abraham was 100 years old and Sarah was 90 <Gen. 17:17; 21:5>. Both Abraham and Sarah laughed when they heard they would have a son in their old age <Gen. 17:17-19; 18:9-15>. This explains why they named their son Isaac, which means "to laugh."
