Bible Note: Dear Momma, Thanks for your interest and response. Abraham had tasked Eliezar with finding a wife in his hometown for Isaac. I think the way to understand this is that Abraham was NOT giving Eliezar instructions on where he was permitted to take Isaac AFTER his death. What I think he is saying is that if the woman was not willing to leave Ur to come to Canaan to be Isaac's wife, Eliezar was not permitted to take Isaac there to be her husband. Now if Abraham was in fact giving post mortum instructions to Eliezar, then Eliezar would indeed have had authority. But I now think that Abraham was not doing that. Also, I think that God's commands to us does give us authority to do what it takes to keeps them. For example, His commands to me as a father gives me certain authority over my children to raise them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. Peace, |
