Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Genesis 22:16

And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:Because thou hast done this thing, and hast not with-held thy son, thine only son — He lays a mighty emphasis upon that, and Genesis 22:18, praises it as an act of obedience, in it thou hast obeyed my voice.By myself have I sworn — For he could swear by no greater. read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Genesis 22:17

That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;Multiplying I will multiply thee — Those that part with any thing for God, shall have it made up to them with unspeakable advantage. Abraham has but one son, and is willing to part with that one in obedience to God; well, saith God, thou shalt be recompensed with thousands and millions. Here... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 22:11

11. The Angel of the Lord called This climax of the faith of Abraham is worthy of the coming of the angel of Jehovah . On this name see note, chap . 16:7 . It is appropriate that the interruption and the countermand of the words of the Elohim of Genesis 22:1 (note) come from the angel of the covenant, who in the fulness of times will, on this same mountain, lay down his life a ransom for many . Abraham, Abraham This repetition of Abraham’s name gives an intense liveliness to the scene,... read more

12. Lay not thine hand upon the lad That is, for the purpose of slaying him . “God did not seek the slaying of Isaac in fact, but only the implicit surrender of the lad, in mind and heart . But if all mental reservation, every refuge of flesh and blood, all mere appearance and self-delusion were to be avoided, this surrender could only be accomplished in the shape in which it was actually required. If it was to be wholly an act of faith left to its own energies, without any other point... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 22:13

13. Lifted… looked… behold These verbs afford another vivid word-picture . The startled patriarch hears, stops short, looks up and all around to see and know all that Jehovah wills . A ram The Samaritan, Sept . , Syriac, and many MSS . read one ram, which would result from the mere changing of ר into ד in the word אחר , translated behind. Such a reading would emphasize the ram as being single and separate from the flock, thus typifying, as some think, the Lamb of God as being... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 22:14

14. Jehovah-jireh This name appears to have been given because of the marvellous fulfilling of the words of Abraham in Genesis 22:8 Elohim-jireh, “God will provide,” or God will see to it. Abraham had uttered an unconscious prophecy, and now in adoring confidence he gives that sacred spot a name which will forever endure as a memorial of Jehovah’s providence. In giving this name he prophecies again, and utters a proverb, which was common in the days of this writer, and has been... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 22:16

16. By myself have I sworn “When God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself . ” Hebrews 6:13. Hanna observes, that this oath “was the last utterance that fell from the lips of God upon the ear of Abraham. He lived for fifty years and more thereafter, but that voice was never heard again. These late years rolled over him in peaceful, undisturbed repose.” Because thou hast done this thing This last act of faith was the crowning point in Abraham’s... read more

17. Bless… multiply Compare the promises that had gone before . Genesis 12:2; Genesis 12:8; Genesis 13:14-17; Genesis 15:5; Genesis 15:7; Genesis 15:18; Genesis 17:1-8; and Genesis 18:18. Thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies Fulfilled primarily in the conquest of Canaan, (comp . Genesis 15:18-21,) but pointing even now to Christ’s ultimate triumph over the gates of hell .
