Birth of Isaac —Genesis 17, 18, 21

What’s in a Name?

Names are important.

It has been so from the

8 5

beginning.

Among the tribes of Old Testament times, it was a common custom to include a name for God as part of a child’s name. For instance, Obadiah means “servant of Jehovah.” Special events occurring before, during, or after the child’s birth might also be reflected in the chosen name.

Girls were often named for beautiful objects in nature, or pleasant qualities of character. For instance, Salome means “peace.”
