{Verses
1-2: T= Testing}
1~~And
it came to pass
after
these things
{after Abraham left behind Caldea and idolatry, his father, Egypt
etc.},
that
'Elohiym/Godhead did prove or test Abraham,
and
said unto him, "Abraham", and He said, "Behold me."
2~~And
He {God} said,
"Take,
NOW, your son,
your
only one {greatest possible love in Hebrew} Isaac,
whom
you have always loved,
and
get you into the land of Moriah
{means 'to cause to be seen of the Jehovah' or 'manifestation of
Jehovah' Jehovah caused to provide - RBT says he is going to
Golgotha - where Jesus later would die as a sacrifice also};
and
offer him there for a burnt offering
upon
one of the mountains of which I will tell you.
{Verses
3-10: O= Obeying}
3~~
And Abraham rose up early in the morning,
and
saddled his ass
{used by kings at this time - men of great wealth used asses},
and
took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son,
and
{Abraham at 125 years} split the wood for the burnt offering,
and
moved out, and 'went with a good mental attitude'
unto
the place of which 'Elohiym/Godhead had told him.
4~~
Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes
{same verb as used when Christ was lifted up on the cross and
Abraham was looking at the very spot of the cross},
and
saw the place afar off.
5~~
And Abraham said unto his young men,
"Stay
here with the ass!
I
and the lad {teenager at least},
we
will go {again with a good mental attitude}
and
we will worship
{very unusual form of verb-is doubled- which means Both will
worship. Isaac is not only the sacrifice, but will also worship}
and
we shall return to you!
{Note: Doctrine is more real to Abraham than what he sees or hears. God has promised his seed would multiply greatly through Isaac. So, if he is to sacrifice his precious son, Abraham is very willing to do so. He knows God would then resurrect/resuscitate him! So 'we' WILL return!}
6~~
And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering,
and
laid it upon Isaac his son
{Isaac carried the wood up the hill and Abraham carried the
matches and knife}.
And,
he took the fire in his hand, and a knife;
and
they went both of them together.
7~~
And Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, "My father".
And
he said, "Behold me {idiom - you may speak}, my son."
And
he said, "{I see} the fire and the wood,
but
where is the lamb for a burnt offering?"
8~~And
Abraham said, "My son,
'Elohiym/Godhead
keeps on perceiving/seeing {ra'ah} it !"
So
they went both of them together.
9~~And
they came to the place
of
which 'Elohiym/Godhead had told him.
And
Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order
{here is where Isaac is informed of the will of God. Isaac is
a strong lad and can resist, but he submits to the will of God
and his father - a picture of Jesus Christ's submission to the
will of His Father in going to the cross},
and
bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
10~~
And Abraham stretched forth his hand,
and
took the knife to cut the throat of his son.
{Verses
11-14: Providing}
11~~And
the angel/messenger of Jehovah/God
{a Christophany - is Jesus manifest per John 1-18, 6-46, I Timothy
6-16, I John 4-12 and in verse 16 He is called 'Jehovah'}
called
unto him out of heaven, and said, "Abraham, Abraham"
{the greatest compliment ever paid anyone in the old testament -
Jesus doubling a noun or name in Hebrew means 'perfect' or
'mature' - means you have arrived - Spiritual Maturity Abraham} and
he said, "Behold me!".
12~~
And He said, "Lay not your hand upon the lad {don't cut him},
neither
do you any thing to him!
For
now I know that
you
'have trusted completely'/'are occupied with' 'Elohiym/Godhead,
seeing
you have not withheld your son, your only son from Me."
13~~
And Abraham lifted up his eyes
{same verb again Jehovah saw now 'Abraham sees too!},
and
looked, and behold behind him
a
ram caught in a thicket by his horns.
And
Abraham went and took the ram,
and
offered him up for a burnt offering
in
the place of his son
{substitution - another picture of Jesus Christ}.
14~~
And Abraham called the name of that place
Jehovahjireh
{means: Jehovah will see to it! Jehovah will provide.}. As it is
said to this day, in the 'mount 'there is provision'/
'it
shall be seen to' by Jehovah/God
{this is the mountain where Christ was sacrificed as a substitute
for us - Golgotha - God did provide for all of us there potential for
'salvation'}.
15-18~~
And the angel/messenger of Jehovah/God {Jesus}
called
unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, 16~~
And
said, "By Myself,
have
I sworn {solemn oath by Jesus all by myself},
said
Jehovah/God, "For you have done this thing,
and
have not kept back your son,
your
only one, 17~~
that
in blessing
I
will bless you to the maximum {doubling again, highest}
and
in multiplying, I will multiply
your
seed as the stars of the heaven,
and
as the sand which is upon the sea shore
and
your seed shall possess the gate of his enemies
{idiom: means to succeed in dominating their enemies}. 18
And
in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
because
you have obeyed My voice."
19
So Abraham returned unto his young men,
and
they rose up and went together to Beersheba;
and
Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.
20-22^^And
it came to pass after these things,
that
it was told Abraham, saying,
"Behold,
Milcah,
she
has also born children unto your brother Nahor.21 ^^
Huz
his firstborn,
and
Buz his brother,
and
Kemuel the father of Aram, 22^^
and
Chesed,
and
Hazo,
and
Pildash,
and
Jidlaph,
and
Bethuel.
23^^And
Bethuel sired/'caused the birth of' {yalad} Rebekah
These
eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
24^^And
his concubine, whose name was Reumah,
she
bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.
