1 The Binding of Isaac

Setting

The Hebrew word for the binding of Isaac is Akedah. This was the ultimate test for Abraham. After waiting patiently for 25 years, the LORD commanded Abraham to offer Isaac as a sacrifice! Abraham passed the test with flying colors. 

The LORD called Abraham by name and commanded him to take Isaac his only son, whom he loved, and go to Moriah. The name Moriah has a beautiful meaning in Hebrew - it signifies being handpicked by God. Moriah was mentioned only twice in the Bible, and this was the first mention. 

With Isaac carrying the wood, Abraham took a journey to Mount Moriah. The wood on Isaac’s back was a foreshadow of the cross behind Jesus’ back. 

Genesis 22:9-14

9 They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham built the altar there and laid the wood in order, bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on the wood. 10 Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to kill his son. 11 Yahweh’s angel called to him out of the sky, and said, Abraham, Abraham! He said, Here I am. 12 He said, Don’t lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now, I know that you fear God since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me. 13 Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son. 14 Abraham called the name of that place Yahweh Will Provide. As it is said to this day, On Yahweh’s mountain, it will be provided. 

Reflection

The angel of the LORD called Abraham by name twice and stopped him from stabbing
