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 22:11-12

‘And the angel of Yahweh called to him from Heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham.” And he said, “Here I am.” And he said, “Do not lay your hand on the lad, neither do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God, seeing the you have not withheld your son, your only son from me.” ’ At last the change to the name Yahweh. The covenant has not been forgotten. The angel of Yahweh is clearly God Himself for He says, “you have not withheld your only son ‘from Me’.” “Now I know that you fear God.”... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 22:1-19

Genesis 22:1-Psalms : . Abraham Obeys the Divine Command to Sacrifice Isaac, and is Rewarded by the Sparing of his Son.— The main narrative ( Genesis 22:1-1 Chronicles :) is from E, and the story, which is a literary masterpiece, is told with a reticence more effective than any detailed exposition of the tragedy implicit in it could have been. The pathos of the son’ s question in Genesis 22:7, the father’ s answer in Genesis 22:8, is unsurpassable. And the racked feelings of the father, the... 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

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Genesis 22:12

God knew the sincerity and resolvedness of Abraham’s faith and obedience before and without this evidence, and from eternity foresaw this fact and all its circumstances; and therefore you must not think that God had now made any new discovery: but this is spoken here, as in many other places, of God after the manner of men, who is then said to know a thing, when it is notorious and evident to a man’s self and others by some remarkable effect. Thus David prayed that God would search and know his... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Genesis 22:1-19

Genesis 22:1-19 . Abraham is the first, if not the greatest, of the heroes of the Hebrew people. A man dazed by life's illusions, a dreamer of strange dreams and a seer of impossible visions, he has yet a firm hold of solid fact, and is ready, in the spirit of the Pilgrim Fathers, to cross the Euphrates and travel to Damascus, that he may separate himself from idolatry. From his many days of trial, take those in which he needs the strength of God the most, and see whether he has it, what he... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Genesis 22:12

Genesis 22:12 I. There come times in human life when men must undergo a crucial test. A man can have but one trial in his lifetime; one great sorrow, beside which all other griefs dwindle into insignificance. II. The crucial test can only take place in relation to that which we love and value most. The question here is, Do we so hold that which is dearest to us upon earth that we could surrender it at the Divine bidding? III. Abraham's answer, "My son, God will provide Himself a lamb," is the... read more

DISCOURSE: 35IMPORTANCE OF EVIDENCESGenesis 22:12. Now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son, from me.THERE are in the Holy Scriptures many expressions, which, if taken in the strictest and most literal sense, would convey to us very erroneous conceptions of the Deity. God is often pleased to speak of himself in terms accommodated to our feeble apprehensions, and properly applicable to man only. For instance; in the passage before us, he speaks as... read more
