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 22:1

1. After these things After all that has been narrated of Abraham before . God did tempt Abraham The Hebrew for God is here האלהים , the God; emphatic, the same “everlasting God,” who is called Jehovah in Gen 22:33 of the previous chapter. The tempting is a key-word to the whole chapter. The Hebrew word נסה means to try, to test, to prove . Thus Gesenius ( Lex. under נסה ) observes: “God is said to try or prove men, that is, their virtue, Psalms 26:2; piety, Deuteronomy... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 22:2

2. He said Doubtless in some open and positive way . There is no evidence that this word came by a vision of the night . Least of all should we give countenance to the strange fancy that Abraham was imposed upon by Satan, and tempted, by observing human sacrifices among the heathen, to suppose that the sacrifice of Isaac would be acceptable to God. If such were the fact, the sacred writer fell into a most unfortunate style of recording the truth. Take now thy son This command is... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 22:3

3. Rose up early An early start on a journey is all-important in the East . Thus would the traveller avoid the heat of the day in the open sun, by travelling before the sun was up, and resting in the heat of the day . Saddled his ass The modern saddle was not then known, but pieces of cloth and garments (Mark 11:7) were bound ( חבשׁ ) on the back of the animal . The saddling also implied the binding on of whatever baggage the traveller would take along . The Oriental ass is a nobler... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 22:4

4. Third day Two days of journey and reflection did not cause the faith of Abraham to waver, but must have deeply intensified the trial going on within him . Afar off These words do not necessarily imply a great distance . Moses’s sister stood afar off to watch the ark of bulrushes, (Exodus 2:4,) and Job’s three friends “lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not,” (Job 2:12,) but the distances in each case were obviously not great . read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 22:5

5. I and the lad will go yonder Abraham doubtless took the ass and his servants to the foot of the mountain, so as to carry the wood and the fire no unnecessary distance . From the junction of the valleys Hinnon and Kedron the heights of Moriah would seem afar off, and be properly spoken of as yonder. And come again to you These words may have been designed to conceal from his servants the purpose of his heart; but according to Hebrews 11:17, he had confidence that God would raise up... read more

6. The wood… upon Isaac How does this suggest the only-begotten Son of God bearing his wooden cross to Calvary! John 19:17. Fire in his hand Either a stick of wood that would long endure as a burning ember, or coals in a firepot . read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 22:7

7. My father The narrative, in its life-like simplicity, evidences its own genuineness . It was probably often repeated by Isaac to his sons, and by them handed down, till it took this written form . Where is the lamb A most searching question, painful to Abraham’s heart, and prompting the prophetic utterance recorded in the next verse, where Abraham again speaks more wisely than he knew . Comp . Genesis 22:5. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 22:9

9. The place which God had told How, when, and where God revealed to him the exact spot for his offering, we are nowhere informed . The rabbins have a tradition that on this same spot Adam, Abel, and Noah had offered sacrifice . Built… laid… bound… laid The four different Hebrew words graphically describe the successive acts in the work of preparation . These are followed in the next verse by three words which paint the final tableau stretched forth… took… to slay . All the efforts... read more
