An Old Testament patriarch. His birth to Abraham and Sarah in their old age was a miracle (Gen. 15: 4-6; 17: 15-21; 21: 1-8). Abraham’s willingness to offer Isaac was a similitude of God and his Only Begotten Son (Jacob 4: 5). Isaac was heir to the promises of the Abrahamic covenant (Gen. 21: 9-12; 1 Ne. 17: 40; D&C 27: 10).

Isaac was born, Gen. 21: 1-7. Was to be sacrificed on mount Moriah, Gen. 22: 1-19 (D&C 101: 4). Was married, Gen. 24. Dealt with his sons, Gen. 27: 1—28: 9. Has received exaltation with Abraham and Jacob, D&C 132: 37 (Matt. 8: 11).
