[Guest In Him]

Thus they made a*covenant at Beersheba:

then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.

 And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.

And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days. Genesis 21:32-34

*Thus we see that the godly, concerning outward things may make peace with the wicked that do not know the true God. The 1599 Geneva Study Bible.

'And it came to pass after these things,  
that God did tempt (or test) Abraham, 
and said unto him, "Abraham:" 
and he said, "Behold, here I am."
And He said,
 "Take now thy son, 
.. thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, 
.... and get thee into the land of Moriah; 
...... and offer him there for a burnt offering 
........  upon one of the mountains 
.......... which I will tell thee of. ... ... "'
(Genesis 22:1-2)

Praise God! (James 1:13)

[Christine]

'And Abraham rose up early in the morning, 
.. and saddled his ass, 
.... and took two of his young men with him, 
...... and Isaac his son, 
........ and clave the wood for the burnt offering, 
.......... and rose up, 
............ and went unto the place of which God had told him.
(Genesis 22:3)  

Praise God! - Again, every action associated with Abraham's obedience is accented by the word 'and'.  How precious to God these acts of obedience are!

'Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, 
and saw the place afar off.
And Abraham said unto his young men, "Abide ye here with the ass; 
and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, 
and come again to you."
(Genesis 22:4-5) 

Praise God!  Abraham's words of faith:-  '... and come again to you' - Abraham believed God was able to raise Isaac up from the dead, for His promises to him necessitated that Isaac live. (Acts 7:5)

'And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, 
.. and laid it upon Isaac his son; 
.... and he took the fire in his hand, 
...... and a knife; 
........ and they went both of them together.'
(Gen 22:6) 

Praise God! - Again, every action accentuated by the word, 'and', giving solemn reverent attention to Abraham's obedience

 

[Guest In Him]

 And Isaac said to Abraham, “My father!”

And he said, “Here I am, my son.”

Isaac said, “Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”

Abraham said, “My son, God will provide for Himself  a lamb for the burnt offering.”

So the two walked on together. Genesis 22:7-8

[Guest In Him]

 And when they came to the place which God had shown him,

Abraham built an altar there,

and couched the wood,

and bound Isaac his son,

and laid him on the altar upon the wood.

And Abraham stretching forth his hand, took the knife to kill his son.

But the Angel of the Lord called unto him from heaven, saying, Abraham, Abraham.

And he answered, Here am I.

Then he said, Lay not thine hand upon the child, neither do anything unto him:

for now I know that thou fearest God,

seeing for my sake thou hast not spared thine ^]only son. Genesis 22:9-12 ESV

[Guest In Him]

And Abraham lifting up his eyes, looked and behold

there was a ram behind him caught by the horns in a bush:

then Abraham went and took the ram,

and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.

And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah Jireh...The Lord Who Provides.

as it is said this day, *In the mount will the Lord be seen. Genesis 22:13-14

*This may also refer to the presence of God in this mount, when the temple should be built on it (2 Chron 3:1)

and to the appearance of Christ in it, who was often seen here, who was frequently in the temple built on this mount. (God manifest in the flesh; Immanuel God with us). John Gill Exposition of the Bible
