OFFERING ISAAC. (Gen. 22:1-19)
God did tempt Abraham--not incite to sin (Jam 1:13), but try, prove--give occasion for the development of his faith (Pe1 1:7).
and he said, . . . Here I am--ready at a moment's warning for God's service. |
The Scofield Bible Commentary, by Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, [1917] |
And it came to pass
The spiritual experience of Abraham was marked by four great crises, each of which involved a surrender of something naturally most dear. These were:
(1) Country and kindred (Gen 12:1); (Mat 10:34-39); (Co2 6:14-18).
(2) His nephew, Lot; especially dear to Abraham by nature, as a possible heir and as a fellow believer (Pe2 2:7); (Pe2 2:8); (Gen 13:1-18). The completeness of Abraham's separation from one who, though a believer, was a "vessel unto dishonour," is shown by; (Gen 15:1-3); (Ti2 2:20); (Ti2 2:21); (Act 15:36-40).
(3) His own plan about Ishmael (Gen 17:17); (Gen 17:18); (Ch1 13:1-14); (Ch1 15:1-2).
(4) Isaac, "thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest" (Gen 22:1-19); (Heb 11:17); (Heb 11:18). |
Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
Offering Up of Isaac. - For many years had Abraham waited to be fulfilled. At length the Lord had given him the desired heir of his body by his wife Sarah, and directed him to send away the son of the maid. And now that this son had grown into a young man, the word of God came to Abraham to offer up this very son, who had been given to him as the heir of the promise, for a burnt-offering, upon one of the mountains which should be shown him. This word did not come from his own heart, - was not a thought suggested by the sight of the human sacrifices of the Canaanites, that he would offer a similar sacrifice to his God; nor did it originate with the tempter to evil. The word came from Ha-Elohim, the personal, true God, who tried him (נסּה), i.e., demanded the sacrifice of the only, beloved son, as a proof and attestation of his faith. The issue shows, that God did not desire the sacrifice of Isaac by slaying and burning him upon the altar, but his complete surrender, and a willingness to offer him up to God even by death.
Nevertheless the divine command was given in such a form, that Abraham could not understand it in any other way than as requiring an outward burnt-offering, because there was no other way in which Abraham could accomplish the complete surrender of Isaac, than by an actual preparation for really offering the desired sacrifice. This constituted the trial, which necessarily produced a severe internal conflict in his mind. Ratio humana simpliciter concluderet aut mentiri promissionem aut mandatum non esse Dei sed Diaboli; est enim contradictio manifesta. Si enim debet occidi Isaac, irrita est promissio; sin rata est promissio, impossibile est hoc esse Dei mandatum (Luther). But Abraham brought his reason into captivity to the obedience of faith. He did not question the truth of the word of God, which had been addressed to him in a mode that was to his mind perfectly infallible (not in a vision of the night, however, of which there is not a syllable in the text), but he stood firm in his faith, "accounting that god was able to raise him up, even from the dead" Heb 11:19). Without taking counsel with flesh and blood, Abraham started early in the morning (Gen 22:3, Gen 22:4), with his son Isaac and two servants, to obey the divine command; and on the third day (for the distance from Beersheba to Jerusalem is about 20 1/2 hours; Rob. Pal. iii. App. 66, 67) he saw in the distance the place mentioned by God, the land of Moriah, i.e., the mountainous country round about Jerusalem. The name מריּה, composed of the Hophal partic. of ראה and the divine name יה, an abbreviation of יהוה (lit., "the shown of Jehovah," equivalent to the manifestation of Jehovah), is no doubt used proleptically in Gen 22:2, and given to the mountain upon which the sacrifice was to be made, with direct reference to this event and the appearance of Jehovah to Abraham there. This is confirmed by Gen 22:14, where the name is connected with the event, and explained in the fuller expression Jehovah-jireh. On the ground of this passage the mountain upon which Solomon built the temple is called המּריּה with reference to the appearance of the angel of the Lord to David on that mountain at the threshing-floor of Araunah (Sa2 24:16-17), the old name being revived by this appearance. |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
Here is the trial of Abraham's faith, whether it continued so strong, so vigorous, so victorious, after a long settlement in communion with God, as it was at first, when by it he left his country: then it appeared that he loved God better than his father; now, that he loved him better than his son. After these things - After all the other exercises he had had, all the difficulties he had gone through: now perhaps he was beginning to think the storms were blown over but after all, this encounter comes, which is stranger than any yet. God did tempt Abraham - Not to draw him to sin, so Satan tempts; but to discover his graces, how strong they were, that they might be found to praise and honour and glory. The trial itself: God appeared to him as he had formerly done, called him by name Abraham, that name which had been given him in ratification of the promise: Abraham, like a good servant, readily answered, Here am I; what saith my Lord unto his servant? Probably he expected some renewed promise, like those, Gen 15:1, Gen 17:1, but to his great amazement that which God hath to say to him is in short, Abraham, go kill thy son: and this command is given him in such aggravating language as makes the temptation abundantly more grievous. When God speaks, Abraham, no doubt, takes notice of every word, and listens attentively to it: and every word here is a sword in his bones; the trial is steel'd with trying phrases. Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that he should afflict? No, it is not; yet when Abraham's faith is to be tried, God seems to take pleasure in the aggravation of the trial. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
God did tempt Abraham - The original here is very emphatic: והאלהים נסה את אברהם vehaelohim nissah eth Abraham, "And the Elohim he tried this Abraham;" God brought him into such circumstances as exercised and discovered his faith, love, and obedience. Though the word tempt, from tento, signifies no more than to prove or try, yet as it is now generally used to imply a solicitation to evil, in which way God never tempts any man, it would be well to avoid it here. The Septuagint used the word επειρασε, which signifies tried, pierced through; and Symmachus translates the Hebrew נסה nissah by εδοξαζεν, God glorified Abraham, or rendered him illustrious, supposing the word to be the same with נס nas, which signifies to glister with light, whence נס nes, an ensign or banner displayed. Thus then, according to him, the words should be understood: "God put great honor on Abraham by giving him this opportunity of showing to all successive ages the nature and efficacy of an unshaken faith in the power, goodness, and truth of God." The Targum of Jonathan ben Uzziel paraphrases the place thus: "And it happened that Isaac and Ishmael contended, and Ishmael said, I ought to be my father's heir, because I am his first-born; but Isaac said, It is more proper that I should be my father's heir, because I am the son of Sarah his wife, and thou art only the son of Hagar, my mother's slave. Then Ishmael answered, I am more righteous than thou, because I was circumcised when I was thirteen years of age, and if I had chosen, I could have prevented my circumcision; but thou wert circumcised when thou wert but eight days old, and if thou hadst had knowledge, thou wouldst probably not have suffered thyself to be circumcised. Then Isaac answered and said, Behold, I am now thirty-six years old, and if the holy and blessed God should require all my members, I would freely surrender them. These words were immediately heard before the Lord of the universe, and מימרא דיי meimera daiya, the Word of the Lord, did try Abraham." I wish once for all to remark, though the subject has been referred to before, that the Chaldee term מימרא meimera, which we translate word, is taken personally in some hundreds of places in the Targums. When the author, Jonathan, speaks of the Divine Being as doing or saying any thing, he generally represents him as performing the whole by his meimera, which he appears to consider, not as a speech or word spoken, but as a person quite distinct from the Most High. St. John uses the word λογος in precisely the same sense with the Targumists, Joh 1:1 (note); see the notes there, and see before on Gen 21:22 (note), and Gen 15:1 (note). |
7 That [2443] the trial [1383] of your [5216] faith [4102], being much [4183] more precious [5093] than of gold [5553] that perisheth [622], though [1223] [1161] it be tried [1381] with fire [4442], might be found [2147] unto [1519] praise [1868] and [2532] honour [5092] and [2532] glory [1391] at [1722] the appearing [602] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]:
13 Let [3004] no man [3367] say [3004] when he is tempted [3985], [3754] I am tempted [3985] of [575] God [2316]: for [1063] God [2316] cannot be tempted [551] [2076] with evil [2556], neither [1161] tempteth [3985] he [846] [3985] any man [3762]:
18 Of [4314] whom [3739] it was said [2980], That [3754] in [1722] Isaac [2464] shall [2564] thy [4671] seed [4690] be called [2564]:
17 By faith [4102] Abraham [11], when he was tried [3985], offered up [4374] Isaac [2464]: and [2532] he that had received [324] the promises [1860] offered up [4374] his only begotten [3439] son,
1 And it came to pass after [0310] these things [01697], that God [0430] did tempt [05254] Abraham [085], and said [0559] unto him, Abraham [085]: and he said [0559], Behold, here I am.
2 And he said [0559], Take now [03947] thy son [01121], thine only [03173] son Isaac [03327], whom thou lovest [0157], and get thee [03212] into the land [0776] of Moriah [04179]; and offer him [05927] there for a burnt offering [05930] upon one [0259] of the mountains [02022] which I will tell [0559] thee of.
3 And Abraham [085] rose up early [07925] in the morning [01242], and saddled [02280] his ass [02543], and took [03947] two [08147] of his young men [05288] with him, and Isaac [03327] his son [01121], and clave [01234] the wood [06086] for the burnt offering [05930], and rose up [06965], and went [03212] unto the place [04725] of which God [0430] had told [0559] him.
4 Then on the third [07992] day [03117] Abraham [085] lifted up [05375] his eyes [05869], and saw [07200] the place [04725] afar off [07350].
5 And Abraham [085] said [0559] unto his young men [05288], Abide [03427] ye here with the ass [02543]; and I and the lad [05288] will go [03212] yonder [03541] and worship [07812], and come again [07725] to you.
6 And Abraham [085] took [03947] the wood [06086] of the burnt offering [05930], and laid [07760] it upon Isaac [03327] his son [01121]; and he took [03947] the fire [0784] in his hand [03027], and a knife [03979]; and they went [03212] both [08147] of them together [03162].
7 And Isaac [03327] spake [0559] unto Abraham [085] his father [01], and said [0559], My father [01]: and he said [0559], Here am I, my son [01121]. And he said [0559], Behold the fire [0784] and the wood [06086]: but where is the lamb [07716] for a burnt offering [05930]?
8 And Abraham [085] said [0559], My son [01121], God [0430] will provide [07200] himself a lamb [07716] for a burnt offering [05930]: so they went [03212] both of them [08147] together [03162].
9 And they came [0935] to the place [04725] which God [0430] had told [0559] him of; and Abraham [085] built [01129] an altar [04196] there, and laid [06186] the wood [06086] in order [06186], and bound [06123] Isaac [03327] his son [01121], and laid [07760] him on the altar [04196] upon [04605] the wood [06086].
10 And Abraham [085] stretched forth [07971] his hand [03027], and took [03947] the knife [03979] to slay [07819] his son [01121].
11 And the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] called [07121] unto him out of heaven [08064], and said [0559], Abraham [085], Abraham [085]: and he said [0559], Here am I.
12 And he said [0559], Lay [07971] not thine hand [03027] upon [0413] the lad [05288], neither do thou [06213] any thing [03972] unto him: for now [06258] I know [03045] that thou fearest [03373] God [0430], seeing thou hast not [03808] withheld [02820] thy son [01121], thine only [03173] son from me.
13 And Abraham [085] lifted up [05375] his eyes [05869], and looked [07200], and behold behind [0310] him a ram [0352] caught [0270] in a thicket [05442] by his horns [07161]: and Abraham [085] went [03212] and took [03947] the ram [0352], and offered him up [05927] for a burnt offering [05930] in the stead [08478] of his son [01121].
14 And Abraham [085] called [07121] the name [08034] of that place [04725] Jehovahjireh [03070]: as [0834] it is said [0559] to this day [03117], In the mount [02022] of the LORD [03068] it shall be seen [07200].
15 And the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] called [07121] unto Abraham [085] out of heaven [08064] the second time [08145],
16 And said [0559], By myself have I sworn [07650], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], for because [03282] [0834] thou hast done [06213] this thing [01697], and hast not [03808] withheld [02820] thy son [01121], thine only [03173] son:
17 That in blessing [01288] I will bless [01288] thee, and in multiplying [07235] I will multiply [07235] thy seed [02233] as the stars [03556] of the heaven [08064], and as the sand [02344] which is upon the sea [03220] shore [08193]; and thy seed [02233] shall possess [03423] the gate [08179] of his enemies [0341];
18 And in thy seed [02233] shall all the nations [01471] of the earth [0776] be blessed [01288]; because [0834] [06118] thou hast obeyed [08085] my voice [06963].
19 So Abraham [085] returned [07725] unto his young men [05288], and they rose up [06965] and went [03212] together [03162] to Beersheba [0884]; and Abraham [085] dwelt [03427] at Beersheba [0884].
1 And David made [06213] him houses [01004] in the city [05892] of David [01732], and prepared [03559] a place [04725] for the ark [0727] of God [0430], and pitched [05186] for it a tent [0168].
2 Then David [01732] said [0559], None ought to carry [05375] the ark [0727] of God [0430] but the Levites [03881]: for them hath the LORD [03068] chosen [0977] to carry [05375] the ark [0727] of God [0430], and to minister [08334] unto him for [05704] ever [05769].
1 And David [01732] consulted [03289] with the captains [08269] of thousands [0505] and hundreds [03967], and with every leader [05057].
2 And David [01732] said [0559] unto all the congregation [06951] of Israel [03478], If it seem good [02895] unto you, and that it be of the LORD [03068] our God [0430], let us send [07971] abroad [06555] unto our brethren [0251] every where, that are left [07604] in all the land [0776] of Israel [03478], and with them also to the priests [03548] and Levites [03881] which are in their cities [05892] and suburbs [04054], that they may gather [06908] themselves unto us:
3 And let us bring again [05437] the ark [0727] of our God [0430] to us: for we enquired [01875] not at it in the days [03117] of Saul [07586].
4 And all the congregation [06951] said [0559] that they would do so [06213]: for the thing [01697] was right [03474] in the eyes [05869] of all the people [05971].
5 So David [01732] gathered [06950] all Israel [03478] together [06950], from Shihor [07883] of Egypt [04714] even unto the entering [0935] of Hemath [02574], to bring [0935] the ark [0727] of God [0430] from Kirjathjearim [07157].
6 And David [01732] went up [05927], and all Israel [03478], to Baalah [01173], that is, to Kirjathjearim [07157], which belonged to Judah [03063], to bring up [05927] thence the ark [0727] of God [0430] the LORD [03068], that dwelleth [03427] between the cherubims [03742], whose name [08034] is called [07121] on it.
7 And they carried [07392] the ark [0727] of God [0430] in a new [02319] cart [05699] out of the house [01004] of Abinadab [041]: and Uzza [05798] and Ahio [0283] drave [05090] the cart [05699].
8 And David [01732] and all Israel [03478] played [07832] before [06440] God [0430] with all their might [05797], and with singing [07892], and with harps [03658], and with psalteries [05035], and with timbrels [08596], and with cymbals [04700], and with trumpets [02689].
9 And when they came [0935] unto the threshingfloor [01637] of Chidon [03592], Uzza [05798] put forth [07971] his hand [03027] to hold [0270] the ark [0727]; for the oxen [01241] stumbled [08058].
10 And the anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] was kindled [02734] against Uzza [05798], and he smote [05221] him, because he put [07971] his hand [03027] to the ark [0727]: and there he died [04191] before [06440] God [0430].
11 And David [01732] was displeased [02734], because the LORD [03068] had made [06555] a breach [06556] upon Uzza [05798]: wherefore that place [04725] is called [07121] Perezuzza [06560] to this day [03117].
12 And David [01732] was afraid [03372] of God [0430] that day [03117], saying [0559], How [01963] shall I bring [0935] the ark [0727] of God [0430] home to me?
13 So David [01732] brought [05493] not the ark [0727] home to himself to the city [05892] of David [01732], but carried it aside [05186] into the house [01004] of Obededom [05654] the Gittite [01663].
14 And the ark [0727] of God [0430] remained [03427] with the family [01004] of Obededom [05654] in his house [01004] three [07969] months [02320]. And the LORD [03068] blessed [01288] the house [01004] of Obededom [05654], and all that he had.
18 And Abraham [085] said [0559] unto God [0430], O that [03863] Ishmael [03458] might live [02421] before thee [06440]!
17 Then Abraham [085] fell [05307] upon his face [06440], and laughed [06711], and said [0559] in his heart [03820], Shall a child be born [03205] unto him that is an hundred [03967] years [08141] old [01121]? and shall Sarah [08283], that is ninety [08673] years [08141] old [01323], bear [03205]?
36 And [1161] some [5100] days [2250] after [3326] Paul [3972] said [2036] unto [4314] Barnabas [921], [1211] Let us go again [1994] and visit [1980] our [2257] brethren [80] in [2596] every [3956] city [4172] where [1722] [3739] we have preached [2605] the word [3056] of the Lord [2962], and see how [4459] they do [2192].
37 And [1161] Barnabas [921] determined [1011] to take with them [4838] John [2491], whose surname was [2564] Mark [3138].
38 But [1161] Paul [3972] thought [515] not [3361] good [515] to take [4838] him [5126] with them [4838], who [3588] departed [868] from [575] them [846] from [575] Pamphylia [3828], and [2532] went [4905] not [3361] with them [846] to [1519] the work [2041].
39 And [3767] the contention [3948] was [1096] so sharp [3948] between them [846], that [5620] they departed asunder [673] one from the other [575] [240]: and so [5037] Barnabas [921] took [3880] Mark [3138], and sailed [1602] unto [1519] Cyprus [2954];
40 And [1161] Paul [3972] chose [1951] Silas [4609], and departed [1831], being recommended [3860] by [5259] the brethren [80] unto the grace [5485] of God [2316].
21 If [1437] a man [5100] therefore [3767] purge [1571] himself [1438] from [575] these [5130], he shall be [2071] a vessel [4632] unto [1519] honour [5092], sanctified [37], and [2532] meet [2173] for the master's use [1203], and prepared [2090] unto [1519] every [3956] good [18] work [2041].
20 But [1161] in [1722] a great [3173] house [3614] there are [2076] not [3756] only [3440] vessels [4632] of gold [5552] and [2532] of silver [693], but [235] also [2532] of wood [3585] and [2532] of earth [3749]; and [2532] some [3739] [3303] to [1519] honour [5092], and [1161] some [3739] to [1519] dishonour [819].
1 After [0310] these things [01697] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came [01961] unto Abram [087] in a vision [04236], saying [0559], Fear [03372] not, Abram [087]: I am thy shield [04043], and thy exceeding [03966] great [07235] reward [07939].
2 And Abram [087] said [0559], Lord [0136] GOD [03069], what wilt thou give [05414] me, seeing I go [01980] childless [06185], and the steward [01121] [04943] of my house [01004] is this [01931] Eliezer [0461] of Damascus [01834]?
3 And Abram [087] said [0559], Behold, to me thou hast given [05414] no [03808] seed [02233]: and, lo, one born [01121] in my house [01004] is mine heir [03423].
1 And Abram [087] went up [05927] out of Egypt [04714], he, and his wife [0802], and all that he had, and Lot [03876] with him, into the south [05045].
2 And Abram [087] was very [03966] rich [03513] in cattle [04735], in silver [03701], and in gold [02091].
3 And he went [03212] on his journeys [04550] from the south [05045] even to Bethel [01008], unto the place [04725] where his tent [0168] had been [01961] at the beginning [08462], between Bethel [01008] and Hai [05857];
4 Unto the place [04725] of the altar [04196], which he had made [06213] there at the first [07223]: and there Abram [087] called [07121] on the name [08034] of the LORD [03068].
5 And Lot [03876] also, which went [01980] with [0854] Abram [087], had flocks [06629], and herds [01241], and tents [0168].
6 And the land [0776] was not able to bear [05375] them, that they might dwell [03427] together [03162]: for their substance [07399] was great [07227], so that they could [03201] not dwell [03427] together [03162].
7 And there was a strife [07379] between the herdmen [07462] of Abram's [087] cattle [04735] and the herdmen [07462] of Lot's [03876] cattle [04735]: and the Canaanite [03669] and the Perizzite [06522] dwelled [03427] then in the land [0776].
8 And Abram [087] said [0559] unto Lot [03876], Let there be [01961] no [0408] strife [04808], I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen [07462] and thy herdmen [07462]; for we [0582] be brethren [0251].
9 Is not the whole land [0776] before thee [06440]? separate thyself [06504], I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand [08040], then I will go to the right [03231]; or if thou depart to the right hand [03225], then I will go to the left [08041].
10 And Lot [03876] lifted up [05375] his eyes [05869], and beheld [07200] all the plain [03603] of Jordan [03383], that it was well watered [04945] every where, before [06440] the LORD [03068] destroyed [07843] Sodom [05467] and Gomorrah [06017], even as the garden [01588] of the LORD [03068], like the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], as thou comest [0935] unto Zoar [06820].
11 Then Lot [03876] chose [0977] him all the plain [03603] of Jordan [03383]; and Lot [03876] journeyed [05265] east [06924]: and they separated themselves [06504] the one [0376] from the other [0251].
12 Abram [087] dwelled [03427] in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], and Lot [03876] dwelled [03427] in the cities [05892] of the plain [03603], and pitched his tent [0167] toward [05704] Sodom [05467].
13 But the men [0582] of Sodom [05467] were wicked [07451] and sinners [02400] before the LORD [03068] exceedingly [03966].
14 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Abram [087], after [0310] that Lot [03876] was separated [06504] from him, Lift up [05375] now thine eyes [05869], and look [07200] from the place [04725] where thou art northward [06828], and southward [05045], and eastward [06924], and westward [03220]:
15 For all the land [0776] which thou seest [07200], to thee will I give it [05414], and to thy seed [02233] for [05704] ever [05769].
16 And I will make [07760] thy seed [02233] as the dust [06083] of the earth [0776]: so that [0834] if a man [0376] can [03201] number [04487] the dust [06083] of the earth [0776], then shall thy seed [02233] also be numbered [04487].
17 Arise [06965], walk [01980] through the land [0776] in the length [0753] of it and in the breadth [07341] of it; for I will give [05414] it unto thee.
18 Then Abram [087] removed his tent [0167], and came [0935] and dwelt [03427] in the plain [0436] of Mamre [04471], which is in Hebron [02275], and built [01129] there an altar [04196] unto the LORD [03068].
8 (For [1063] that righteous man [1342] dwelling [1460] among [1722] them [846], in seeing [990] and [2532] hearing [189], vexed [928] his righteous [1342] soul [5590] from day [2250] to [1537] day [2250] with their unlawful [459] deeds [2041];)
7 And [2532] delivered [4506] just [1342] Lot [3091], vexed [2669] with [5259] the filthy [766] conversation [391] of [1722] the wicked [113]:
14 Be ye [1096] not [3361] unequally yoked together [2086] with unbelievers [571]: for [1063] what [5101] fellowship [3352] hath righteousness [1343] with [2532] unrighteousness [458]? and [1161] what [5101] communion [2842] hath light [5457] with [4314] darkness [4655]?
15 And [1161] what [5101] concord [4857] hath Christ [5547] with [4314] Belial [955]? or [2228] what [5101] part [3310] hath he that believeth [4103] with [3326] an infidel [571]?
16 And [1161] what [5101] agreement [4783] hath the temple [3485] of God [2316] with [3326] idols [1497]? for [1063] ye [5210] are [2075] the temple [3485] of the living [2198] God [2316]; as [2531] God [2316] hath said [2036], [3754] I will dwell [1774] in [1722] them [846], and [2532] walk in [1704] them; and [2532] I will be [2071] their [846] God [2316], and [2532] they [846] shall be [2071] my [3427] people [2992].
17 Wherefore [1352] come out [1831] from [1537] among [3319] them [846], and [2532] be ye separate [873], saith [3004] the Lord [2962], and [2532] touch [680] not [3361] the unclean [169] thing; and [2504] I will receive [1523] you [5209],
18 And [2532] will be [2071] [1519] a Father [3962] unto you [5213], and [2532] ye [5210] shall be [2071] my [3427] sons [5207] [1519] and [2532] daughters [2364], saith [3004] the Lord [2962] Almighty [3841].
34 Think [3543] not [3361] that [3754] I am come [2064] to send [906] peace [1515] on [1909] earth [1093]: I came [2064] not [3756] to send [906] peace [1515], but [235] a sword [3162].
35 For [1063] I am come [2064] to set [1369] a man [444] at variance [1369] against [2596] his [846] father [3962], and [2532] the daughter [2364] against [2596] her [846] mother [3384], and [2532] the daughter in law [3565] against [2596] her [846] mother in law [3994].
36 And [2532] a man's [444] foes [2190] shall be they of his own [846] household [3615].
37 He that loveth [5368] father [3962] or [2228] mother [3384] more than [5228] me [1691] is [2076] not [3756] worthy [514] of me [3450]: and [2532] he that loveth [5368] son [5207] or [2228] daughter [2364] more than [5228] me [1691] is [2076] not [3756] worthy [514] of me [3450].
38 And [2532] he [3739] that taketh [2983] not [3756] his [846] cross [4716], and [2532] followeth [190] after [3694] me [3450], is [2076] not [3756] worthy [514] of me [3450].
39 He that findeth [2147] his [846] life [5590] shall lose [622] it [846]: and [2532] he that loseth [622] his [846] life [5590] for my [1700] sake [1752] shall find [2147] it [846].
1 Now the LORD [03068] had said [0559] unto Abram [087], Get thee out [03212] of thy country [0776], and from thy kindred [04138], and from thy father's [01] house [01004], unto a land [0776] that I will shew [07200] thee:
16 And when the angel [04397] stretched out [07971] his hand [03027] upon Jerusalem [03389] to destroy [07843] it, the LORD [03068] repented [05162] him of the evil [07451], and said [0559] to the angel [04397] that destroyed [07843] the people [05971], It is enough [07227]: stay [07503] now thine hand [03027]. And the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] was by the threshingplace [01637] of Araunah [0728] the Jebusite [02983].
17 And David [01732] spake [0559] unto the LORD [03068] when he saw [07200] the angel [04397] that smote [05221] the people [05971], and said [0559], Lo, I have sinned [02398], and I have done wickedly [05753]: but these sheep [06629], what have they done [06213]? let thine hand [03027], I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's [01] house [01004].
14 And Abraham [085] called [07121] the name [08034] of that place [04725] Jehovahjireh [03070]: as [0834] it is said [0559] to this day [03117], In the mount [02022] of the LORD [03068] it shall be seen [07200].
2 And he said [0559], Take now [03947] thy son [01121], thine only [03173] son Isaac [03327], whom thou lovest [0157], and get thee [03212] into the land [0776] of Moriah [04179]; and offer him [05927] there for a burnt offering [05930] upon one [0259] of the mountains [02022] which I will tell [0559] thee of.
4 Then on the third [07992] day [03117] Abraham [085] lifted up [05375] his eyes [05869], and saw [07200] the place [04725] afar off [07350].
3 And Abraham [085] rose up early [07925] in the morning [01242], and saddled [02280] his ass [02543], and took [03947] two [08147] of his young men [05288] with him, and Isaac [03327] his son [01121], and clave [01234] the wood [06086] for the burnt offering [05930], and rose up [06965], and went [03212] unto the place [04725] of which God [0430] had told [0559] him.
19 Accounting [3049] that [3754] God [2316] was able [1415] to raise him up [1453], even [2532] from [1537] the dead [3498]; from whence [3606] also [2532] he received [2865] him [846] in [1722] a figure [3850].
1 And when Abram [087] was ninety [08673] [08141] years [08141] old [01121] and nine [08672], the LORD [03068] appeared [07200] to Abram [087], and said [0559] unto him, I am the Almighty [07706] God [0410]; walk [01980] before me [06440], and be thou perfect [08549].
1 After [0310] these things [01697] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came [01961] unto Abram [087] in a vision [04236], saying [0559], Fear [03372] not, Abram [087]: I am thy shield [04043], and thy exceeding [03966] great [07235] reward [07939].
1 After [0310] these things [01697] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came [01961] unto Abram [087] in a vision [04236], saying [0559], Fear [03372] not, Abram [087]: I am thy shield [04043], and thy exceeding [03966] great [07235] reward [07939].
22 And it came to pass at that time [06256], that Abimelech [040] and Phichol [06369] the chief captain [08269] of his host [06635] spake [0559] unto Abraham [085], saying [0559], God [0430] is with thee in all that thou doest [06213]:
1 In [1722] the beginning [746] was [2258] the Word [3056], and [2532] the Word [3056] was [2258] with [4314] God [2316], and [2532] the Word [3056] was [2258] God [2316].
