2 | How much wood could Issac carry? | Gen 22:7 | Lionstrong | 157602 | ||
Gen 22:6 Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son, and he took in his hand the fire and the knife. So the two of them walked on together. Gen 22:7 Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, "My father!" And he said, "Here I am, my son." And he said, "Behold, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?" See verse 7. He probably carried enough wood for a lamb, but enough not for a human sacrifice. They might have expected to find more wood at the place of sacrifice if they had need for more. The probably needed more wood after all, since God provided a ram in Isaac's place. You'll notice that the ram was caught in a thicket (v. 13). So, they had more stuff at that location that they could use to burn the sacrifice. |
