Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 22:10

‘And Abraham stretched forth his hand to slay his son.’ Obedient to the end, he knew he must obey God’s absolute command. With nerves of steel he takes the final step in making the ultimate sacrifice. He lifts the knife ready to plunge it into the body of his son. The writer brings out the pathos. Not Isaac, not the lad, but ‘his son’. Centuries later another Father would send His Son to be a sacrifice, but in His case there would be no intervention, no voice from Heaven. For He was the One to... 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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 22:13

‘And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered him up for a burnt offering in the place of his son.’ To us it may seem an afterthought, but to Abraham it is one great swell of praise to Yahweh. Never had he offered a ram with more gratitude and with more praise in his heart. Whatever the normal significance of the burnt offering it is clearly stated that in this particular case it is... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 22:14

‘And Abraham called the name of that place ‘Yahweh Yir’eh’. As it is said to this day, “In the mount of Yahweh it will be provided ”.’ The naming of a place was an important matter for ancient peoples, especially when it commemorated a theophany. For that place became accepted as a sacred place, and many would go there for religious purposes. But no well known name is given here. It was a private naming in a spot which, though it would ever be sacred to Abraham, would not be known to the world.... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 22:15-18

‘And the angel of Yahweh called to Abraham a second time out of heaven, and said, “By myself have I sworn, the word of Yahweh, because you have done this thing and have not withheld your son, your only son, that in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven and as the sand which is on the sea shore, and your seed shall possess the gate of his enemies, and in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 22:19

‘So Abraham returned to his young men and they rose up and went together to Beersheba, and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.’ To the young men it possibly looked as though nothing unusual had happened, apart from the fact that their master must have seemed somewhat more cheerful and Isaac somewhat more thoughtful. We do not know whether he too was aware of the theophany, but undoubtedly his father must have given him some explanation. And they returned to Beersheba, and dwelt there. Life would go on... 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 22:1-19

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

Genesis 22:20-Jeremiah : . The Sons of Nahor.— From J, touched by the redactor, and inserted to prepare for Genesis 22:24. The names are, partially at any rate, tribal. Discussion of them may be seen in the larger commentaries. read more
