ISAAC: THE SECOND PATRIARCH OF THE BIBLE

By Mendel Adelman
Art by Sefira Lightstone

Isaac (Yitzchak, in Hebrew) is the second of the patriarchs of the Jewish
people. He is the son of Abraham and Sarah, husband of Rebecca, and father of
Esau and Jacob. He is most famous for his central role in the Binding of Isaac,
when he was almost offered up as a sacrifice to G‑d. He carried on his father’s
work of spreading monotheism and knowledge of G‑d throughout Mesopotamia. He is
commonly referred to as Yitzchak Avinu, “Isaac our Forefather.” His life story
is told in the Book of Genesis, mostly in the portions of Vayeira and Toldot.1

EARLY LIFE

Isaac was born when his father, Abraham, was 100 years old and his mother,
Sarah, was 90. A trio of angels came to tell Abraham of the coming birth of his
child, and Isaac was born exactly a year later.2

Isaac was born on the first day of Passover.3 He became the first child to be
circumcised at the proper time, on the eighth day after birth.4 In many ways,
Isaac was the first person to be born Jewish. At his circumcision, Abraham named
him Yitzchak (Isaac), which means “laughter” in Hebrew.5

After he was born, many skeptics were convinced that Isaac was the child of
Abimelech, not of Abraham. They pointed to the fact that Abraham and Sarah had
been married for many years without children, and Sarah only conceived after
being abducted by Abimelech. In order to nip such thoughts in the bud, G‑d made
Isaac the spitting image of Abraham, so much so that when Isaac grew older they
became indistinguishable.

As is common with only children, especially those born in their parents’ old
age, Isaac was loved dearly by his parents. When he was weaned at the age of
two,6 they made a large party to celebrate, inviting many distinguished guests.

One day, Sarah saw her stepson, Ishmael, acting inappropriately.7 Fearing that
he would become a negative influence to her son, she told Abraham to send him
away. Abraham was reluctant to do so, but gave in after G‑d told him to listen
to Sarah.

THE AKEIDA: THE BINDING OF ISAAC



In the Bible, the request from G‑d to Abraham to offer up his son on an altar
comes out of nowhere. The Talmud gives us a little background to the events
leading up to this command:

> One day, Ishmael was boasting to Isaac that he was circumcised at the age of
> 13, and he did not protest. That was an advantage over Isaac, who had been too
> young to protest at the time of his circumcision. Isaac replied, “You think
> that sacrificing one organ makes you better than me? If G‑d said to me,
> ‘Sacrifice yourself before Me,’ I would not hold back.”8

G‑d made Isaac follow through on that promise. He told Abraham to sacrifice his
son on a specific mountain that was a three-day journey away. Abraham agreed,
rising early the next morning to saddle up for the journey, and taking Isaac
with him. At this point, Isaac was 37 years old. He was a willing participant,
just as eager as Abraham to fulfill G‑d’s will.

After they arrived at the mountain and Abraham tied Isaac to an altar, G‑d
revealed that his plan was never actually to have Isaac offered up. It was just
a test to ascertain the level of their commitment to Him. Extremely relieved,
Abraham and Isaac returned home. To their dismay, Sarah, Isaac’s mother, had
just passed away. The news that her only son was being offered up as a sacrifice
was too much for her to bear.9 Sarah was buried in Hebron.

ISAAC’S MARRIAGE

Following the death of his wife, Abraham decided that it is time for Isaac to
get married. He sent his trusted servant Eliezer to the far away land of Aram
Naharayim to find a wife from among Abraham’s relatives who were living there.
Eliezer succeeded in his mission and returned with Rebecca, the daughter of
Abraham’s nephew, Bethuel.

Isaac was immediately taken with Rebecca, and they married. Their marriage
helped him get over the tragic loss of his mother.

Read more: How Eliezer Knew She Was “The One”


ISAAC’S CHILDREN

Isaac and Rebecca married when Isaac was 40. After 20 years of marriage, they
remained childless. They prayed to G‑d, and Rebecca conceived and gave birth to
twins. The first was a ruddy, hairy child. They named him Esau. As the second
child exited the womb, they noticed that he was holding on to Esau’s heel. That
prompted them to name him Yaakov (Jacob), which is connected to the Hebrew word
for “heel.”

Esau and Jacob grew up and chose their own paths in life. Esau became a hunter
and idol worshipper,10 while Jacob prefered sitting in tents (and studying the
teachings of G‑d).11

Read more: Jacob and Esau: The Struggle for Power


THE FAMINE

When Abraham came to Canaan, there was a famine that forced him to leave to
Egypt. A very similar situation occurred with Isaac. A famine ravaged the land
of Canaan, making living there impossible. Isaac considered leaving to Egypt, as
his father had done, but G‑d told him not to. This is because when Isaac was
placed on the altar during the Binding of Isaac, he acquired the holiness of a
sacrificial offering. Therefore, he could no longer leave the holiness of the
land of Canaan for a land of lesser holiness. With no other options, Isaac moved
to Gerar, which was within the borders of Canaan.

As soon as he arrived and met the people there, he realized that the inhabitants
of Gerar were not the most savory people. The first question they asked him was,
“Who is that woman there?” referring to Rebecca. Fearing for his life, Isaac did
exactly as his father Abraham had done with Sarah in Egypt. He claimed that
Rebecca was his sister.

Some time passed, and the inevitable occurred. The king, Abimelech, discovered
that Isaac and Rebecca were not siblings after all, but husband and wife. He
rebuked Isaac for pretending to be Rebecca’s brother and issued an edict that no
one should harm Isaac or Rebecca. Reassured, Isaac settled in Gerar.

LIFE IN GERAR: ISAAC’S WELLS

“Digging Wells” by Yoram Raanan

Life in Gerar was good for Isaac. He prospered there. Perhaps too much. As the
inhabitants of Gerar became increasingly jealous of Isaac’s fortune, the
situation became untenable. Abimelech told Isaac that he should find a better
locale to live in. Isaac moved to the valley of Gerar.

But that was not far enough. Success breeds envy. Envy breeds enmity. Enmity
leads to fights breaking out. In Isaac’s case, the fights revolved around wells.

First, Isaac’s servants dug a well in the valley of Gerar and the Philistines
fought over who had the rights to it. Isaac named the well “Esek,” which means
“conflict.” So Isaac dug another well. Lo and behold, the Philistines claimed
ownership of that one as well. Isaac named it “Sitnah,” which means “enmity.”
Showing extraordinary patience, Isaac moved on and dug a third well. And they
did not fight over this one. In order to commemorate that, Isaac named it
“Rechovot,” which means “abundant space.” Isaac then moved to Be’er Sheva.

Once sufficient distance was established between Isaac and the inhabitants of
Gerar, and his spectacular financial success was no longer being rubbed in their
faces, King Abimelech approached Isaac and asked him to make a covenant. Isaac
agreed, and they made a feast to celebrate their newfound civil relationship.12

THE BIRTHRIGHT

Isaac began to get old, and his vision failed him. Some say that the reason G‑d
made him blind was specifically so that the rest of the story could play out the
way it did. Other explanations point to the smoke of the idolatrous incense of
Esau’s wives, or to the tears of the angels falling into his eyes during the
Akeida.13 The Midrash14 also quotes the opinion that Isaac himself wished for
his blindness. He wanted to make sure that the suffering he experienced in his
lifetime would atone for his sins. G‑d granted his wish and made him blind.

Isaac decided that it was time to bless his eldest son and officially bestow
upon him the benefits of the firstborn birthright. Unfortunately, the flaw with
this plan was that Esau, the eldest, had already sold the birthright to Jacob
for a bowl of lentil stew.15 (No, seriously!)

Read more: Esau Sells the Birthright

Jacob’s mother concocted a plan to make sure that the right man got the
blessings. She took advantage of Isaac’s blindness and dressed Jacob up as Esau.
Isaac was fooled, and gave the blessings to Jacob.

When Esau found out, he was devastated. He begged Isaac for a blessing as well,
and Isaac acquiesced.

Esau was murderously furious at Jacob for “stealing” the blessings. He planned
to kill Jacob as soon as Isaac passed away. Realizing the peril, Jacob’s parents
sent him to Padan Aram, far away from the wrath of Esau. Isaac would not see his
son for more than 22 years.16

ISAAC’S DEATH

The Cave of the Patriarchs as it appeared in 1906.

After reuniting with Jacob after his return from Aram, Isaac lived on for many
more years. He passed away at the ripe old age of 180. He was buried with his
parents in the Cave of Machpela, in Hebron.


ISAAC AND THE AFTERNOON PRAYER

Isaac is attributed with originating Minchah, the afternoon prayer.17 This is
because Isaac is mentioned in the Torah as praying in the afternoon: “And Isaac
went forth to pray in the field towards evening.”18


ISAAC IN KABBALAH

Very little of Isaac’s nearly two-century-long life is written in the Torah.
That reflects that spirit with which Isaac lived his life. Isaac embodied the
idea of gevurah, the kabbalistic notion of discipline or restraint. The
character trait associated with gevurah is yira’ah, awe. Isaac served G‑d with a
sense of awe and wonderment. He constantly felt that he was standing in the
presence of the Almighty. This caused him to act with restraint and modesty.
While his father Abraham was an outgoing, traveling activist, Isaac was more
reserved. He stayed in the land of Canaan all his life, working on himself and
others in a quieter fashion.

Isaac passed on the positive character traits of restraint, modesty and
introspection to his progeny, the Jewish people.

ISAAC THE WELL DIGGER

Isaac’s episode with digging wells is one of the few aspects of his life that
the Torah describes in detail. The reason for this is because digging wells was
reflective of Isaac’s personality. He was not one to go out and find oases of
water in other places. He was meditative and settled. Rather than searching for
solutions from other sources, he would search deep inside for the life-giving
water within.

Isaac personified Gevurah (severity). Why then did he not better warn Esau
against his idolatry? Reply

Anonymous Lakewood, Washington February 21, 2017

Time Period? Great info, but I have a question: When did he live like what time
period? Reply

Cees The Netherlands October 28, 2022
in response to Anonymous:

Abram was born 1948 years after the creation of Adam.
Isaac was born when Abram was 100 years old.
So, Isaac was born 2048 years after the creation of Adam (on the 1st day of the
7th month).

In the fall of the year 28 on our calendar, on the 10th of the 7th month, the
30th Jubilee was proclaimed by Jesus (read Luke 4: 16-19) on the Day of
Atonement, on a Sabbath (!!), 4030 years after the creation of Adam.

From the year 28, a lot of years backwards and a lot of years forward, not one
single Yom Kippur fell on a Sabbath.

Now, let's count back till 'the binding of Isaac':

4030 - 49 - (29 x 50) – 0.5 - 40 - 430 = 2060.5 years after the creation of
Adam.
As pointed out, Isaac was born 2048 years after the creation of Adam.
So, at the time of 'the binding of Isaac' Isaac was 12.5 years old.

Abraham gave his only (!!) son, the son he loved, halfway the Hebrew year, on
the 14th day of the first month, on Pesach, as an offering to G-d.

'The binding of Isaac' was a prophetic event! Reply

Hey, thanks for the article. How old are the manuscripts that are being
referenced here? Ie. what time period? Reply

Kenneth March 29, 2015

It's impossible for Issac to have been Jewish; the 12 tribes had knot been
birthed during his life time. A better assessment is to say that he was among
the first Hebrews as stated earlier in Genesis. Reply

I agreed with Kenneth.
Jewish sounds more likely less me and Anglo word when referring to Yehudi
(Yehudim, Yehidit, etc) Reply

yehudi or b'nei avraham? surely Isaac was not a b'nei Noach nor a yehudi, but a
b'nei Avraham

Issac was Jewish? How could Issac be Jewish? Jew is short for Judah, or the
tribe of Judah. Judah being one of the 12 sons of Jacob, whose father was Issac.
I think you will find that Abraham, Issac and Jacob were Hebrews Reply

He was never Jewish in the sense that we all know today. He kept the torah that
existed back then + some other things that Avraham kept, like circumcision. Some
people say he kept Shabbat but others don't. Reply

The torah was written by Moses hundreds of years after Issac. Reply

You do understand God is just a translation of Yhvh, which means "I am what I
am". God is not going to be his name, it is just a title, no more holy than
calling someone Bob. Reply

@Suri Izaka: we write G-d as not to take His Shem in vain. I think it is just a
reminder of the awe we should have for HaShem. So when we write His Name, we
don't complte it just in case we efface it in smo way. Reply

Re: Suri Izaka The reason they say G-d is because when someone prints this page,
they are to treat this page with respect as if it contains G-d's name which you
is holy. But in this case since G-d's name is not written out you cannot
desecrate The Holy One Blessed is He. If Chabad were to type the name out they
would be held responsible for those who desecrate the name of G-d. I hope you
understand now. Reply

Isaac, our Ftaher I do not understand why you refer to God as G_d. He is God or
no God. Reply
