Usage: The name Ἰσαάκ is used in the New Testament to refer to Isaac, the son of Abraham and Sarah, and a patriarch of Israel. It appears in genealogies, discussions of faith, and as a figure of promise and covenant.

Context: Isaac is a central figure in the biblical narrative, known as the son of Abraham and Sarah, born to them in their old age as a fulfillment of God's promise. His name, meaning "he laughs," reflects the joy and surprise of his parents at his birth (Genesis 21:3-6). Isaac is a key patriarch in the lineage of Israel, and his life is marked by significant events that underscore themes of faith, obedience, and divine promise.

In the New Testament, Isaac is mentioned in several contexts. He is part of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 1:2) and the Gospel of Luke (Luke 3:34). The Apostle Paul references Isaac in his epistles to illustrate theological points about faith and promise. In Romans 9:7, Paul writes, "Nor because they are Abraham’s descendants are they all his children. On the contrary, 'Through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.'" This highlights the idea of spiritual lineage and the fulfillment of God's promises through Isaac.

In Galatians 4:28, Paul uses Isaac as an allegory for those who are children of promise: "Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise." This emphasizes the concept of believers being heirs to the promises made to Abraham through faith, not merely through physical descent.

The Epistle to the Hebrews also mentions Isaac in the context of faith. Hebrews 11:17-18 recounts the story of Abraham's testing, where he was asked to offer Isaac as a sacrifice: "By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac. He who had received the promises was ready to offer his one and only son, even though God had said to him, 'Through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.'" This passage underscores the depth of Abraham's faith and the significance of Isaac as the child of promise.
