Lexicon Yiskah: Iscah Original Word: יִסְכָּה Strong's Exhaustive Concordance Iscah From an unused root meaning to watch; observant; Jiskah, sister of Lot -- Iscah. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originof uncertain derivation Definition a daughter of Haran NASB Translation Iscah (1). Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root סָכָה (sakah), which means "to look out" or "to behold."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Jiskah, as it is a unique Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts. Usage: Jiskah is used as a proper noun, specifically a feminine name, in the Hebrew Bible. Context: Jiskah is mentioned in the genealogical records of the Book of Genesis. She is identified as the daughter of Haran, who is the brother of Abram (later Abraham) and Nahor. This makes Jiskah the niece of Abram. The only biblical reference to Jiskah is found in Genesis 11:29, where it states: "And Abram and Nahor took wives for themselves. The name of Abram’s wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor’s wife was Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of both Milcah and Iscah." (BSB) The mention of Jiskah is brief, and there is little additional information about her in the biblical text. Some Jewish traditions and interpretations suggest that Jiskah may be another name for Sarai (later Sarah), Abram's wife, although this is not explicitly stated in the Bible. The name Jiskah, meaning "one who looks forth," may imply a person of vision or insight, though the text does not elaborate on her character or role beyond her familial connections.
