It is interesting that in Hebrews Isaac is referred to as a MONOGENHS son
to Abraham.

Hebr. 11:17 PISTEI PROSENHNOCEN ABRAAM TON ISAAK PEIRAZOMENOS KAI TON
MONOGENH PROSEFEREN, hO TAS EPAGGELIAS ANADEXAMENOS. "By faith Abraham
brought Isaac, being tested, and offered his unique (son), the one he had
received by promise."

Now Abraham had another son, another who had been begotten, but Isaac was
the son by a promise, the unigue son.
