YITZCHAK (יִצְחָק)
The word Tz'chak(צְחַק) in hebrew denotes laughter. ('י') the Yod is a prefix denoting a future tense of the word 'laughter'. Thus, from the etymology of his name, one can derive YITZCHAK (יִצְחָק) to mean 'will laugh'
It is when God promised Sarah a fruit of the womb that she had laughed (Genesis 18:12). We see Abraham too laughed in (Génesis 17:17).
Akeidat Yitzchak (עקידת יִצְחַק)“The Binding of Isaac”. We see that Yitzchak was nearly 35 years of age yet he was willing to sacrifice his life for the will of God. He was obedient to his father and never once rebelled.
Yitzchak reopened the wells of his father Avraham (Genesis 26:18-25) spiritually signifying his capabilities of being a water provider (water of Life)
Yitzchak was honoured to be the 2nd Patriarch of Israel and the son of promise in which he established the land for the Yehudim that is why he was asked to never leave the land. In the end the Yehudim will overcome all with Laughter
