Även känd som: Iscah, Iskah

Patriarkernac. 2100 BC

Jiska (Hebrew: Yiskah) was the daughter of Haran and sister to Lot and Milcah. She is briefly mentioned in Genesis 11:29. According to Jewish tradition (Talmud and Rashi), Jiska is identified with Sarah, Abraham's wife, but this is an interpretation not directly confirmed in the biblical text.

The Family in Ur of the Chaldeans

Jiska belonged to the family of Terah who lived in Ur of the Chaldeans, a prominent family that later became central in God's redemptive history.

27This is the account of Terah. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran, and Haran became the father of Lot.
וְאֵ֙לֶּה֙ תּוֹלְדֹ֣ת תֶּ֔רַח תֶּ֚רַח הוֹלִ֣יד אֶת־אַבְרָ֔ם אֶת־נָח֖וֹר וְאֶת־הָרָ֑ן וְהָרָ֖ן הוֹלִ֥יד אֶת־לֽוֹט׃ ‬
28Haran died in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldeans, while his father Terah was still alive.
וַיָּ֣מָת הָרָ֔ן עַל־פְּנֵ֖י תֶּ֣רַח אָבִ֑יו בְּאֶ֥רֶץ מוֹלַדְתּ֖וֹ בְּא֥וּר כַּשְׂדִּֽים׃ ‬
29Abram and Nahor both took wives. Abram's wife was named Sarai, and Nahor's wife was named Milcah, the daughter of Haran, who was the father of Milcah and Iscah.
וַיִּקַּ֨ח אַבְרָ֧ם וְנָח֛וֹר לָהֶ֖ם נָשִׁ֑ים שֵׁ֤ם אֵֽשֶׁת־אַבְרָם֙ שָׂרָ֔י וְשֵׁ֤ם אֵֽשֶׁת־נָחוֹר֙ מִלְכָּ֔ה בַּת־הָרָ֥ן אֲבִֽי־מִלְכָּ֖ה וֽ͏ַאֲבִ֥י יִסְכָּֽה׃ ‬
30Now Sarai was barren; she had no child.
וַתְּהִ֥י שָׂרַ֖י עֲקָרָ֑ה אֵ֥ין לָ֖הּ וָלָֽד׃ ‬
31Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, the wife of his son Abram, and together they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to the land of Canaan. But when they came to Haran, they settled there.

Milcah's marriage to Nahor

Jiska's sister Milcah was married to their uncle Nahor, Abraham's brother. This family connection tightly linked Jiska's lineage to Abraham's family.

29Abram and Nahor both took wives. Abram's wife was named Sarai, and Nahor's wife was named Milcah, the daughter of Haran, who was the father of Milcah and Iscah.
