The את makes the first mention of the name pre-eminent saying that the figurative typology is more important than the literal descendency.

- צ - with holiness and love reconciled in the flesh
- ח -and full of understanding
- ק as the Son of God laid down his life
See if you can find verses that show this describes Isaac.
