Genesis 22:14

_AND ABRAHAM CALLED THE NAME OF THAT PLACE JEHOVAH-JIREH: AS IT IS SAID TO THIS DAY, IN THE MOUNT OF THE LORD IT SHALL BE SEEN._ Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh - i:e., the Lord sees, or the Lord provides (cf. Genesis 22:8). AS IT IS SAID, [Hebrew, _ 'ªSHER_ (H834), so that (Genesis 13:16) it is said]. IN THE MOUNT OF THE LORD IT SHALL BE SEEN. Gesenius renders, 'it is provided.' It is justly objected, however, by Delitzsch that the Niphal of the verb does not bear the sense of providing, but of being seen, appearing. 'On the mount of the Lord He appears, or will appear' [Septuagint, en too orei kurios oofthee]. 'The name of the place, in its special form, occurs in...

14._And Abraham called the name of that place_. He not only, by the act of thanksgiving, acknowledges, at the time, that God has, in a remarkable manner, provided for him; but also leaves a monument of his gratitude to posterity. In most extreme anxiety, he had fled for refuge to the providence of God; and he testifies that he had not done so in vain. He also acknowledges that not even the ram had wandered thither accidentally, but had been placed there by God. Whereas, in process of time, the name of the place was changed, this was done purposely, and not by mistake. For they who have translated the active verb, ‘He will see,’ passively, have wished, in this manner, to teach that God not only looks upon those who are his, but also makes his help manifest to them; so that, in turn, he may be seen by them. The former has precedence in order; namely, that God, by his secret providence, det...

11-14 It was not God's intention that Isaac should actually be sacrificed, yet nobler blood than that of animals, in due time, was to be shed for sin, even the blood of the only begotten Son of God. But in the mean while God would not in any case have human sacrifices used. Another sacrifice is provided. Reference must be had to the promised Messiah, the blessed Seed. Christ was sacrificed in our stead, as this ram instead of Isaac, and his death was our discharge. And observe, that the temple, the place of sacrifice, was afterwards built upon this same mount Moriah; and Calvary, where Christ was crucified, was near. A new name was given to that place, for the encouragement of all believers, to the end of the world, cheerfully to trust in God, and obey him. Jehovah-jireh, the Lord will provide; probably alluding to what Abraham had said, God will provide himself a lamb. The Lord will al...

Verse Genesis 22:14. _JEHOVAH-JIREH_] יהוה יראה _Yehovah-yireh_, literally interpreted in the margin, _The Lord will see_; that is, God will take care that every thing shall be done that is necessary for the comfort and support of them who trust in him: hence the words are usually translated, _The Lord will provide_; so our translators, Genesis 22:8, אלהים יראה Elohim yireh, God will provide; because his _eye_ ever affects his _heart_, and the wants he _sees_ his hand is ever ready to _supply_. But all this seems to have been done under a Divine Impulse, and the words to have been spoken _prophetically_; hence Houbigant and some others render the words thus: _Dominus videbitur_, the Lord shall be seen; and this translation the following clause seems to requi...

- Abraham Was Tested 2. מריה _morı̂yâh_, “Moriah”; Samaritan: מוראה _môr'âh_; “Septuagint,” ὑψηλή _hupsēlē_, Onkelos, “worship.” Some take the word to be a simple derivative, as the Septuagint and Onkelos, meaning “vision, high, worship.” It might mean “rebellious.” Others regard it as a compound of יה _yâh_, “Jah, a name of God,” and מראה _mı̂r'eh_, “shown,” מורה _môreh_, “teacher,” or מורא _môrā'_, “fear.” 14. יראה _yı̂r'ēh_, “Jireh, will provide.” 16,

EXPOSITION GENESIS 22:1 AND IT CAMS TO PASS—the alleged mythical character of the present narrative (De Wette, Bohlen) is discredited not more by express Scripture statement (Hebrews 11:17) than by its own inherent difficulties—AFTER—how long after may be conjectured from the circumstance that Isaac was now a grown lad, capable of undertaking a three days journey of upwards of sixty miles—THESE THINGS (literally, words, of benediction, promise, trial that had gone before—THAT GOD—literally, _the Elohim, i.e. _neither Satan, as in 1 Chronicles 21:1, compared with...

AND ABRAHAM CALLED THE NAME OF THAT PLACE JEHOVAHJIREH,.... Which may be rendered either "the Lord hath seen", as the Septuagint, or "has provided", the future being put for the past, as Abendana observes, and so it is called, in answer to what Abraham had said, Genesis 22:8; "God will provide": now he had provided, and, as a memorial of it, gives the place this name; or "he will see or provide" m; as he has provided for me, so he will for all those that trust in him; as he has provided a ram in the room of Isaac, so he has provided, and will send his only Son in the fulness of time to be a sacrifice for the sins of his people: AS IT IS SAID [TO] THIS DAY, IN THE MOUNT OF THE LORD IT SHALL BE SEEN; from this time to the times of Moses, and so on in after ages, even until now, it has been used as a proverbial saying, that as God appeared to Abraham, and for his

Genesis 22:1. _And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt-_ That is, «God did test or try»- Genesis 22:1. _Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am. And he said, Take now thy son,_ «But, Lord, I have two sons, Ishmael and Isaac.» Genesis 22:2. _Thine only son,_ «But, Lord, both Ishmael and Isaac are my sons, and each of them is the only son of his mother.» Genesis 22:2. _Isaac, whom thou lovest,_ See how definitely God points out to Abraham the son who is to be the means of the great trial of his f

ABRAHAM OBEYS THE DIVINE COMMAND TO SACRIFICE ISAAC, AND IS REWARDED BY THE SPARING OF HIS SON. The main narrative (Genesis 22:1) is from E, and the story, which is a literary masterpiece, is told with a reticence more effective than any detailed exposition of the tragedy implicit in it could have been. The pathos of the son's question in Genesis 22:7, the father's answer in Genesis 22:8, is unsurpassable. And the racked feelings of the father, the unconsciousness of the son, are left to the reader's imagination. The point is that Abraham accepts, with unfaltering obedience, the demand for the costliest offering, recognising God's right to make it. The view that the writer intended to teach that human sacrifice was repugnant
