How preachers through history handled this text
16 public-domain excerpts on Genesis 22, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“This chapter ends with some account of Nahor's family, who had settled at Haran. This seems to be given for the connexion which it had with the church of God. From thence Isaac and Jacob took wives; and before the account of those events this list is recorded. It shows that though Abraham saw his own family highly honoured with privileges, admitted into covenant, and blessed with the assurance of the promise, yet he did not look with disdain upon his relations, but was glad to hear of the increase and welfare of their families.”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Genesis 22:20–35 (Public Domain)
