Genesis 22:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 22:6

4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted his eyes and saw the place afar off.

5 And Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey; the¹ lad and I will go yonder and worship, and we will ^acome back to you.”

6 So Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and ^alaid it on Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife, and the two of them went together.

7 But Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father!” And he said, “Here I am, my son.” Then he said, “Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the¹ lamb for a burnt offering?”

8 And Abraham said, “My son, God will provide for Himself the ^alamb for a ^bburnt offering.” So the two of them went together.

9 Then they came to the place of which God had told him. And Abraham built an altar there and placed the wood in order; and he bound Isaac his son and ^alaid him on the altar, upon the wood.

Genesis 22:6-8

He had hope. "Well, if God will have me kill him that will not stop God's promise. He could raise him from the dead. Isaac will live." There was hope for life. And so, he went through it.

And that answered Isaac's question. They were in agreement. They walked together, because not only did Abraham have this hope, Isaac too had this hope because Abraham was an excellent father. The two went up on the mount in agreement that God would provide a lamb for the offering. And God did, in the next few verses.

Genesis 22:6-7

You can see now that Isaac had not been clued into what was going on. So they did not talk about the sacrifice on the way there.
