A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
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.

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].
