Compare all
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.  
10 And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.
11 But the aAngel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” So he said, “Here I am.”  
12 And He said, a“Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for bnow I know that you fear God, since you have not cwithheld your son, your only son, from Me.”  
13 Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son.

What Does Genesis 22:7 Mean?



Genesis 22:7

Notice the affection in this interplay between them. Does Isaac suspect anything? Had they begun to discuss things by this point? We do not know. But Isaac is no simpleton. He might well have figured things out and was seeking confirmation. Abraham is a type of God the Father, and Isaac, as a type of Christ, has complete faith in him. Just as Jesus would rather have not gone through the agonies of crucifixion but did so, trusting His Father completely, Isaac appears to respond similarly.
