Bible Question: What was Issac's age (approx.) when Abraham offered him as a sacrifice (as commanded by God)? |
Bible Answer: According to Josephus, Isaac was 25 years old. According to Targum ben Uzziel, Isaac was 36, but according to Adam Clark, Isaac more than likely was 33 years old. Clark sees Isaac as a foreshadow of Christ being sacrificed by His father. Personally, I agree with Clark. T'oma |
