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 22:13

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 22:14

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

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 22:13

Verse 13 13.And, behold, behind him a ram. What the Jews feign respecting this ram, as having been created on the sixth day of the world, is like the rest of their fictions. We need not doubt that it was presented there by miracle, whether it was then first created, or whether it was brought from some other place; for God intended to give that to his servant which would enable him, with joy and cheerfulness, to offer up a pleasant sacrifice: and at the same time he admonishes him to return... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 22:14

Verse 14 14.And Abraham called the name of that place. He not only, by the act of thanksgiving, acknowledges, at the time, that God has, in a remarkable manner, provided for him; but also leaves a monument of his gratitude to posterity. In most extreme anxiety, he had fled for refuge to the providence of God; and he testifies that he had not done so in vain. He also acknowledges that not even the ram had wandered thither accidentally, but had been placed there by God. Whereas, in process of... 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 22:13

And Abraham lifted up his eyes (in the direction of the voice), and looked, and behold behind him —either at his back (Furst, Keil, Lange, Murphy), or in the background of the altar, i.e. in front of him (Gesenius, Kalisch). The LXX ; Samaritan, Syriac, mistaking אַחַר for אֶחַר , read "one," which adds nothing to the sense or picturesqueness of the composition— a ram — אַיִל ; in the component letters of which cabalistic writers find the initial letters of אֱלהִים ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 22:14

And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh :— i.e. the Lord will provide (Jonathan, Calvin, Rosenmüller, Keil, &c.;), rather than the Lord selects, or looks out, i.e. . the sacrifices to be afterwards offered in the temple worship on Morish (Kalisch); or, the Lord shall appear (Oort, Kuenen), which overlooks the manifest allusion to Genesis 22:8 — as it is said to this day ,—or, so that it is said; cf. Genesis 13:16 (Keil)— In the mount of the Lord it shall be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 22:14

The Lamb of God. "And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh. The key to this narrative is John 1:29 . It sets forth in type the way of salvation. Whether Abraham understood this we need not inquire. The lesson is for us. Isaac, i.e. laughter (cf. Luke 2:10 ), the child of promise ( Romans 9:7 ), type of "the children of the kingdom," is yet condemned to die (cf. Romans 5:12 ). So in Egypt the Israelites were not exempted; God's gift to them was a way of escape. What... read more
