AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hebrews 11:17 ¶ By faith Abraham, when he was tested [that is, as the testing of his faith was still in progress], offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises [of God] was ready to sacrifice his only son [of promise]; [Gen 22:1-10] |
Bible Question:
How old was Isaac when Abraham offered him up as a sacrifice, and where is the referance? God Bless, Scott |
Bible Answer: Scott, Welcome to the Forum. As best as I can determine, scripture doesn't explicitly tell us Isaac's age when he was offered up. The relevant passages are Heb. 11:17 and Genesis 22:1-10. We can make an educated guess by looking at the timetables of his birth, marriage and Abrahams' cronology in scripture passages. We know he was circumcised after 8 days (Gen. 21:4), and that he was probably 40 when he marries Rebecca in Gen. 24. Most likely he was mid to late teens- but that is only a guess:-) Possibly some others can weigh in with better resources. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
