Now Isaac
The name "Isaac" in Hebrew is "Yitzchak," meaning "he will laugh" or "laughter." This name was given by God and reflects the joy and surprise of his parents, Abraham and Sarah, at his birth in their old age. Isaac is a patriarch, a key figure in the Abrahamic covenant, and his life is a testament to God's faithfulness and the continuation of His promises. His life serves as a bridge between Abraham and Jacob, maintaining the lineage through which God would fulfill His covenant.

lived
The Hebrew word for "lived" is "chayah," which means to live, to have life, or to remain alive. Isaac's life was marked by moments of faith, obedience, and continuity of God's promises. His life was not just about the years he lived but the legacy he carried forward. In a spiritual sense, Isaac's life represents the sustaining power of God’s promises through generations.

a total of
This phrase emphasizes the completeness and fulfillment of Isaac's life span. It suggests a sense of divine order and purpose, indicating that Isaac's life was full and complete according to God's plan. The totality of his years reflects the biblical theme of a life lived under God's providence and timing.

180 years
The number 180 is significant in the biblical context, as it represents a long and full life. In ancient times, longevity was often seen as a sign of divine blessing and favor. Isaac's 180 years symbolize a life richly blessed by God, allowing him to witness the unfolding of God's promises to his father Abraham and to his son Jacob. This longevity also underscores the importance of Isaac's role in the patriarchal narrative, serving as a testament to God's enduring covenant with His people.

(28) The days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years.--As Isaac was sixty when his sons were born, Jacob was one hundred and twenty years of age at his father's death, and one hundred and thirty when he appeared before Pharaoh (Genesis 47:9). Now, as Joseph was seventeen when sold into Egypt (Genesis 37:2), and thirty when raised to power (Genesis 41:46), and as the seven years of plenty and two of the years of famine had passed before Jacob went down into Egypt, it follows that the cruel deed, whereby he was robbed of his favourite child, was committed about twelve years before the death of Isaac.

Verse 28. - And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years. At this time Jacob was 120; but at 130 he stood before Pharaoh in Egypt, at which date Joseph had been 10 years governor. He was therefore 120 when Joseph was promoted at the age of 30, and 107 when Joseph was sold; consequently Isaac was 167 years of age when Joseph was sold, so that he must have survived that event and sympathized with Jacob his son for a period of 13 years.
