Bible Note: Hi imuvhim, In regard to the "now I know" it should be noted that it is the Angel NKJ] of the Lord that is speaking. It is difficult to understand the blend of the triune God here with the word "Me". Genesis 22:11, "But the angel [Angel, NKJ,] of the Lord called to him from heaven, and said, "Abraham, Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am." And he [He, NKJ] said, "Do not stretch out your hand against the lad, and do nothing to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me."
