His life is marked by significant events, including the near-sacrifice on Mount Moriah, his marriage to Rebekah, and the birth of his sons Esau and Jacob. Isaac's life is a continuation of the Abrahamic covenant, emphasizing God's promise to make Abraham's descendants a great nation.

His lifespan also connects him to the broader narrative of Genesis, where the ages of the patriarchs are often recorded to emphasize their significance in God's redemptive plan.

Now, as Joseph was seventeen when sold into Egypt (<a href="/genesis/37-2.htm" title="These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought to his father their evil report.">Genesis 37:2</a>), and thirty when raised to power (<a href="/genesis/41-46.htm" title="And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.">Genesis 41:46</a>), 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.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/genesis/35.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 28.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years</span>. 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. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/genesis/35-28.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">And Isaac</span><br /><span class="heb">יִצְחָ֑ק</span> <span class="translit">(yiṣ·ḥāq)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3327.htm">Strong's 3327: </a> </span><span class="str2">Isaac -- 'he laughs', son of Abraham and Sarah</span><br /><br /><span class="word">lived</span><br /><span class="heb">וַיִּֽהְי֖וּ</span> <span class="translit">(way·yih·yū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1961.htm">Strong's 1961: </a> </span><span class="str2">To fall out, come to pass, become, be</span><br /><br /><span class="word">180</span><br /><span class="heb">מְאַ֥ת</span> <span class="translit">(mə·’aṯ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Number - feminine singular construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3967.htm">Strong's 3967: </a> </span><span class="str2">A hundred</span><br /><br /><span class="word">years.</span><br /><span class="heb">שָׁנָ֖ה</span> <span class="translit">(šā·nāh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8141.htm">Strong's 8141: </a> </span><span class="str2">A year</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/genesis/35-28.htm">Genesis 35:28 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/genesis/35-28.htm">Genesis 35:28 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/genesis/35-28.htm">Genesis 35:28 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/genesis/35-28.htm">Genesis 35:28 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/genesis/35-28.htm">Genesis 35:28 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/genesis/35-28.htm">Genesis 35:28 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/genesis/35-28.htm">Genesis 35:28 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/genesis/35-28.htm">Genesis 35:28 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/genesis/35-28.htm">Genesis 35:28 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/genesis/35-28.htm">Genesis 35:28 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/genesis/35-28.htm">OT Law: Genesis 35:28 The days of Isaac were one hundred (Gen.
