Genesis 22:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 22:7

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.
