Genesis 22:1 And it came to pass after these things, that God
did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said,
Behold, here I am.
2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest,
and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt
offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
-
Moriah = Chosen by God

2 Chron 3:1 Then Solomon began to build the
house of the Lord at Jerusalem in mount Moriah,
where the Lord appeared unto David his father,
in the place that David had prepared in the
threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
3 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and
took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the
wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of
which God had told him.
-
Abraham never question God, He got up and done
what God said
4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place
afar off.
-
Third day Abraham lifted up his eyes

Christ was in the tomb three days
5 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I
and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you,
6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it
upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a
knife; and they went both of them together.
7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he
said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but
where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt
offering: so they went both of them together.
-
Hebrew 11:8 By faith Abraham, when he was called
to go out into a place which he should after
receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went
out, not knowing whither he went.
9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham
built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his
son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to
slay his son.
11 And the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven,
and said, Abraham, Abraham: and He said, Here am I.
12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad,
neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou
fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from
me.
-
Fearest = OT:3373 afraid, fear
13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a
ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram,
and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is
said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.
-
Jehovah-jireh = God will see, or provide,
-
Symbolical name
for Mount Moriah = chosen by God
15 And the angel of the Lord called unto Abraham out of heaven
the second time,
16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, for because thou
hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:
17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will
multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand
which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his
enemies;
-
I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the
heaven
18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth
be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
-
In thy seed shall all the nations of the earth
be blessed
-
Abraham obey God.
-
Through Abraham seed, Christ would come
19 So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went
together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.
20 And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham,
saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother
Nahor;
21 Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of
Aram,
22 And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
23 And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor,
Abraham's brother.
24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and
Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.
