Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 22:3-10

We have here Abraham's obedience to this severe command. Being tried, he offered up Isaac, Heb. 11:17. Observe, I. The difficulties which he broke through in this act of obedience. Much might have been objected against it; as, 1. It seemed directly against an antecedent law of God, which forbids murder, under a severe penalty, Gen. 9:5, 6. Now can the unchangeable God contradict himself? He that hates robbery for burnt-offering (Isa. 61:8) cannot delight in murder for it. 2. How would it... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 22:11-14

Hitherto this story has been very melancholy, and seemed to hasten towards a most tragical period; but here the sky suddenly clears up, the sun breaks out, and a bright and pleasant scene opens. The same hand that had wounded and cast down here heals and lifts up; for, though he cause grief, he will have compassion. The angel of the Lord, that is, God himself, the eternal Word, the angel of the covenant, who was to be the great Redeemer and comforter, he interposed, and gave a happy issue to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 22:10

And Abraham stretched forth his hand ,.... All things being ready for execution, the altar built, the wood laid on it, the sacrifice bound and laid on that, nothing remained but to cut the throat of the sacrifice; and in order to that, the instrument for it laying by him, he put forth his hand, one would think in a trembling manner, for it is enough to make one tremble to think of it: and took the knife to slay his son ; with a full intention to do it, which was carrying his obedience to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 22:11

And the Angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven ,.... Not a created angel, but the eternal one, the Son of God, who perhaps appeared in an human form, and spoke with an articulate voice, as be frequently did; for that this was a divine Person is clear from his swearing by himself, and renewing the promise unto Abraham, Genesis 22:16 , and said, Abraham, Abraham ; the repeating his name denotes haste to prevent the slaughter of his son, which was just upon the point of doing,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 22:12

And he said, lay not thine hand upon the lad ,.... Which he was just going to stretch out, with his knife in it, to slay him; and though the Lord had bid him take his son, and offer him for a burnt offering, to try his faith, fear, love, and obedience, yet he meant not that he should actually slay him, but would prevent it when it came to the crisis; for he approves not of, nor delights in human sacrifices; and that this might not be dawn into an example, it was prevented; though the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 22:13

And Abraham lifted up his eyes ,.... They were before fixed upon his son lying upon the altar, and intent upon that part he was going to thrust his knife into; but hearing a voice from heaven above him, he lift up his eyes thitherward: and looked, and, behold, behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns ; the ram making a noise and rustling among the bushes behind the place where Abraham was, he turned himself, and looked and saw it: the Targum of Onkelos introduces the clause... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 22:14

And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh ,.... Which may be rendered either "the Lord hath seen", as the Septuagint, or "has provided", the future being put for the past, as Abendana observes, and so it is called, in answer to what Abraham had said, Genesis 22:8 ; "God will provide": now he had provided, and, as a memorial of it, gives the place this name; or "he will see or provide" F13 יהוה יראה "Dominus videbit", V. L. Montanus, Drusius, Schmidt; "Dominus... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 22:11

The angel of the Lord - The very person who was represented by this offering; the Lord Jesus, who calls himself Jehovah, Genesis 22:16 , and on his own authority renews the promises of the covenant. He was ever the great Mediator between God and man. See this point proved, Genesis 15:7 ; (note). read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 22:12

Lay not thine hand upon the lad - As Isaac was to be the representative of Jesus Christ's real sacrifice, it was sufficient for this purpose that in his own will, and the will of his father, the purpose of the immolation was complete. Isaac was now fully offered both by his father and by himself. The father yields up the son, the son gives up his life; on both sides, as far as will and purpose could go, the sacrifice was complete. God simply spares the father the torture of putting the knife... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 22:14

Jehovah - jireh - יראה יהוה Yehovah - yireh , literally interpreted in the margin, The Lord will see; that is, God will take care that every thing shall be done that is necessary for the comfort and support of them who trust in him: hence the words are usually translated, The Lord will provide; so our translators, Genesis 22:8 , יראה אלהים Elohim yireh , God will provide; because his eye ever affects his heart, and the wants he sees his hand is ever ready to supply. But all this... read more
