F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Genesis 22:14-24

the Promise Sealed with an Oath Genesis 22:14-24 It was only at the last moment that the ram was shown and substituted. It is when we get to the mount of sacrifice that God’s deliverance is seen. It was when Pharaoh had almost overtaken Israel that their way was cleft through the Red Sea. It was in the early dawn that Jesus came walking on the water. The angel delivered Peter just before the time of his execution. God is never a moment too soon, or too late. What an outburst of blessing! It... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Genesis 22:1-24

In this chapter we have the account of the seventh appearing of Jehovah to Abraham and it is that of his supreme testing and consequent bringing into fellowship with God. It must have been in many ways a desolating trial, without apparent reason, coming suddenly and without explanation. Nevertheless, it is the story of the triumph of faith. Abraham passed through the fiercest fire and endured the greatest pressure as his faith was put to the most tremendous strain. The statement that "God did... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Genesis 22:7-24

Where Is the Lamb? Genesis 22:7-24 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The query in Genesis 22:7 , which was asked by Isaac, was most natural. He was on his way with his father to the place of sacrifice, he was carrying the wood, and his father was carrying the fire and the knife; as they journeyed along the way, Isaac said, "Behold the fire and, the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt-offering?" Abraham's reply was, "My son, God will provide Himself a lamb for a burnt-offering." The typical meaning of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 22:20-24

The Sons of Nahor and the Family Connection of Rebekah (Genesis 22:20-24 ). The incident at Mount Moriah was the climax of Abraham’s life. All that remains is the closing down of his life. The stress in Genesis 22:20 to Genesis 24:67 is the new beginnings in Isaac, the chosen heir. This family record is the introduction to Genesis 24:0. It is explaining the knowledge of a daughter that persuaded Abraham to send his steward to Nahor’s family to find a wife for Isaac. It was thus included in... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 22:1-24

Genesis 12:1 to Genesis 25:18 . The Story of Abraham.— In this section the three main sources, J. E, P are present. Gunkel has given strong reasons for holding that J is here made up of two main sources, one connecting Abraham with Hebron, the other with Beersheba and the Negeb. The former associates Abraham with Lot. (For details, see ICC.) On the interpretation to be placed on the figures of Abraham and the patriarchs, see the Introduction. The interest, which has hitherto been diffused... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Genesis 22:1-24

Chapter 22Now it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham ( Genesis 22:1 ),Or tested Abraham or proved Abraham. "Let no man, when he is tempted, say that he is tempted of God: because God never tempts a man to do evil" ( James 1:13 ). Our enticements to evil come from our own flesh, the lust of our own flesh. God doesn't tempt you to do evil things. God does test us. Jesus went through great testings and He learned obedience through the things that He suffered.We as... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 22:1-24

Genesis 22:1-18 . God did tempt Abraham, who had now attained the height of all his earthly joys; and seen in Isaac the long-suspended promises fulfilled. He saw nature aided by divine power in his birth, and in his conduct daily proofs of genius, of piety, and filial obedience. The lad everywhere accompanied his aged father, and gained on his affections, not less by his love of virtue than by his other engaging qualities, and hopeful indications of future greatness. In such circumstances... read more
