创世记 22:1 RCUVSS

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 22:1-24

THE TRIAL OF ABRAHAM'S FAITH The time comes when God gives to Abraham one of the most sever trials of faith possible. When He calls his name, Abraham is fully alert and responsive, "Here I am." Surely he would not be really prepared for the message God gave him, that he must take his on, of whom God says, "your only son Isaac whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burn offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you." Who can measure what a shock this... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Genesis 22:1-24

ISAAC ’S BIRTH , SARAH ’S DEATH THE BONDWOMAN AND HER SON (CHAP. 21) There is little requiring explanation in this chapter, but Genesis 21:9-13 should not be passed without a look at Galatians 4:21-31 . Christians are the spiritual seed of Abraham, and those who would supplement faith in Christ by the works of the law are the children of the bond-woman, who have no place with the children of the promise. God, however, is not unmindful of Hagar and Ishmael, nor of His promise to Abraham... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Genesis 22:1-24

The Offering of Isaac Gen 22:2 It must have seemed hardly possible to the patriarchs, and the elder Hebrews generally, that God could have made the heavy demands upon their trust and love which they were almost daily required to satisfy. In saying this I am judging primitive faith by modern religion: I am in fact judging Abraham by ourselves! Suppose that it should be borne in upon our mind, as the current phrase is, that we should do this or that great thing, requiring special self-denial... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Genesis 22:1

This Chapter contains the account of that memorable instance of the trial of Abraham's faith, in respect to the proposed sacrifice of his son Isaac; the result of which hath handed down the Patriarch's character, with such honourable testimony in the church; and as deservedly hath procured him the name of the father of the faithful. God's command to Abraham to perform this service; the Patriarch's ready obedience; his journey to the place appointed, with Isaac his son; his resolute perseverance... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Genesis 22:1-2

And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am. And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. Tempt, i.e. try to prove. Hebrews 11:17-19 for a right idea of temptations, consult James 1:13-14 , compared with James 1:12; James 1:12 ; 1 Peter 1:6-7 . Mount Moriah,... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Genesis 22:1

God tempted, &c. God tempteth no man to evil, James i. 13. But by trial and experiment, maketh known to the world and to ourselves, what we are; as here by this trial the singular faith and obedience of Abraham was made manifest. (Challoner) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 22:1-2

1,2 We never are secure from trials In Hebrew, to tempt, and to try, or to prove, are expressed by the same word. Every trial is indeed a temptation, and tends to show the dispositions of the heart, whether holy or unholy. But God proved Abraham, not to draw him to sin, as Satan tempts. Strong faith is often exercised with strong trials, and put upon hard services. The command to offer up his son, is given in such language as makes the trial more grievous; every word here is a sword. Observe,... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Genesis 22:1-6

Gen_22:1 Gen_24:6 . Two episodes in the life of Abraham stand out with special prominence. The first, when against all natural hopes, he "believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness" ( Rom_4:3 ). In the second he was, "justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar" ( Jam_2:21 ). To this second great event we come in Genesis 22.0 . "After these things," we read, God put Abraham to the test, and this is ever His way. Peter speaks of "the trial of your... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Genesis 22:1-8

The Journey to Moriah v. 1. And it came to pass after these things that God did tempt Abraham and said unto him, Abraham; and he said, Behold, here I am. After these happenings at Beersheba God tempted, or tested, Abraham, not by giving him an occasion to sin, James 1:13, but by trying his faith as to its soundness and strength. Upon the Lord's calling to him, probably in a dream-vision, Abraham promptly signifies his eagerness to hear. v. 2. And He said, Take now thy son, thine only son... read more
