Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Genesis 22:3

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

3. Abraham rose . . . early, &c.—That there might be no appearance of delay or reluctance on his part, he made every preparation for the sacrifice before setting out—the materials, the knife, and the servants to convey them. From Beer-sheba to Moriah, a journey of two days, he had the painful secret pent up in his bosom. So distant a place must have been chosen for some important reason. It is generally thought that this was one the hills of Jerusalem, on which the Great Sacrifice was afterwards offered. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-4" class="com-number"
