创世记 22:1-2 CUNPSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 22:1-2

Here is the trial of Abraham's faith, whether it continued so strong, so vigorous, so victorious, after a long settlement in communion with God, as it was at first, when by it he left his country: then it was made to appear that he loved God better than his father; now that he loved him better than his son. Observe here, I. The time when Abraham was thus tried (Gen. 22:1): After these things, after all the other exercises he had had, all the hardships and difficulties he had gone through. Now,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 22:1

And it came to pass after these things ,.... Recorded in the preceding chapter: according to the Talmudists F2 T. Bab. Sanhedrin: fol. 89. 2. , the following affair was transacted quickly after the weaning of Isaac, when he was about five years old, which is the opinion of some, as Aben Ezra on Genesis 22:4 ; makes mention of; but that is an age when it can hardly be thought he should be able to carry such a load of wood as was sufficient to make a fire to consume a burnt offering, ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 22:2

And he said, take now thy son ,.... Directly, immediately; not thine ox, nor thy sheep, nor thy ram, nor thy lamb, nor thy servant, but thy son: thine only son Isaac ; for, though Ishmael was his son, he was a son by his maid, by his concubine, and not by his wife; Isaac was his only legitimate son, his only son by his lawful wife Sarah; the only son of the promise, his only son, in whom his seed was to be called: whom thou lovest ; on whom his affections were strongly set, being a... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 22:1

God did tempt Abraham - The original here is very emphatic: אברהם את נסה והאלהים vehaelohim nissah eth Abraham , "And the Elohim he tried this Abraham;" God brought him into such circumstances as exercised and discovered his faith, love, and obedience. Though the word tempt, from tento , signifies no more than to prove or try, yet as it is now generally used to imply a solicitation to evil, in which way God never tempts any man, it would be well to avoid it here. The Septuagint used... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 22:2

Take now thy son - Bishop Warburton's observations on this passage are weighty and important. "The order in which the words are placed in the original gradually increases the sense, and raises the passions higher and higher: Take now thy son, (rather, take I beseech thee נא na ), thine only son whom thou lovest, even Isaac. Jarchi imagines this minuteness was to preclude any doubt in Abraham. Abraham desired earnestly to be let into the mystery of redemption; and God, to instruct him in... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 22:1

Verse 1 1.And it came to pass. This chapter contains a most memorable narrative. For although Abraham, through the whole course of his life, gave astonishing proofs of faith and obedience, yet none more excellent can be imagined than the immolation of his son. For other temptations with which the Lord had exercised him, tended, indeed, to his mortification; but this inflicted a wound far more grievous than death itself. Here, however, we must consider something greater and higher than the... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 22:2

Verse 2 2.Take now thy son. Abraham is commanded to immolate his son. If God had said nothing more than that his son should die, even this message would have most grievously wounded his mind; because, whatever favor he could hope for from God, was included in this single promise, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. Whence he necessarily inferred, that his own salvation, and that of the whole human race, would perish, unless Isaac remained in safety. For he was taught, by that word, that God... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 22:1

And it cams to pass— the alleged mythical character of the present narrative (De Wette, Bohlen) is discredited not more by express Scripture statement ( Hebrews 11:17-19 ) than by its own inherent difficulties— after —how long after may be conjectured from the circumstance that Isaac was now a grown lad, capable of undertaking a three days journey of upwards of sixty miles— these things (literally, words, of benediction, promise, trial that had gone before— that God —literally, ... read more

Mount Moriah, or the mount of sacrifice. I. ABRAHAM 'S TRIAL . 1. Divine in its origin . However explained, the appalling ordeal through which the patriarch at this time passed was expressly created for him by Elohim. Only he who made the human heart can adequately search it; and he alone who has a perfect understanding of the standard of moral excellence can pronounce upon the intrinsic worth of his creatures. 2. Unexpected in its coming . After all that had... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 22:2

And he said, Take now—"the נַא modifies the command, and seems to express that Elohim wished to receive the sacrifice as a free-will offering" (Lange)— thy son (not a lamb, but thy child), thine only son —not ἁγαπητὸν ( LXX .), but unigenitum (Vulgate), meaning the only son of Sarah, the only legitimate offspring he possessed, the only heir of the promise, the only child that remained to him after Ishmael's departure (cf. ὁ μονογενὴς , John 1:18 )— Isaac, whom thou... read more
