Ge 22:1-19.
繁體中文
Originale inglese
Ge 22:1-19.
OFFERING ISAAC.
1. God did tempt Abraham--not incite to sin
(Jas 1:13),
but try, prove--give occasion for the development of his faith
(1Pe 1:7).
and he said, . . . Here I am--ready at a moment's warning for God's service.

2. 你帶著你的兒子,等等——所提的每一個情節,都足以刺痛為父的心。失去獨生子,而且還要親手殺他——這命令必引起多少矛盾的情感!然而他聽見了,毫無怨言地順從了
(加 1:16; 路 14:26)。
Originale inglese
2. Take now thy son, &c.--Every circumstance mentioned was calculated to give a deeper stab to the parental bosom. To lose his only son, and by an act of his own hand, too!--what a host of conflicting feelings must the order have raised! But he heard and obeyed without a murmur
(Ga 1:16; Lu 14:26).

3. 亞伯拉罕清早起來等等——為着不顯出任何耽延或不情願,他在起程之前,就為獻祭作了各樣預備——材料、刀,以及搬運這些的僕人。從別是巴到摩利亞,兩天的路程,他把這痛苦的秘密憋在心裏。這麼遠的一個地方,必定是為着某種重要原因而被選中的。一般認為這就是耶路撒冷的眾山之一,後來那偉大的祭物就是在其上獻上的。
Originale inglese
3. Abraham rose . . . early, &c.--That there might be no appearance of delay or reluctance on his part, he made every preparation for the sacrifice before setting out--the materials, the knife, and the servants to convey them. From Beer-sheba to Moriah, a journey of two days, he had the painful secret pent up in his bosom. So distant a place must have been chosen for some important reason. It is generally thought that this was one the hills of Jerusalem, on which the Great Sacrifice was afterwards offered.

4. 到了第三日,亞伯拉罕舉目等等——把僕人留在山下
[Ge 22:5],
父與子上了山,一個帶着刀,另一個帶着焚燒祭物所用的柴
[Ge 22:6]。
但卻沒有祭物;對於以撒如此自然提出的問題
[Ge 22:7],
亞伯拉罕只以這話回答:「我兒,神必自己預備作燔祭的羊羔。」有人推測,這不尋常之事的目的,是要以行動而非言語向他表明,地上萬族將如何得福;並且在他對以撒的回答中,他預期了某種替代。更可能的是,他的話是在不知道結果的情形下,含糊地對兒子說的,然而卻懷着無限的信心,相信那兒子雖被獻上,必以某種奇妙的方式被歸還
(Heb 11:19)。
Originale inglese
4. on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, &c.--Leaving the servants at the foot
[Ge 22:5],
the father and son ascended the hill, the one bearing the knife, and the other the wood for consuming the sacrifice
[Ge 22:6].
But there was no victim; and to the question so naturally put by Isaac
[Ge 22:7],
Abraham contented himself by replying, "My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering." It has been supposed that the design of this extraordinary transaction was to show him, by action instead of words, the way in which all the families of the earth should be blessed; and that in his answer to Isaac, he anticipated some substitution. It is more likely that his words were spoken evasively to his son in ignorance of the issue, yet in unbounded confidence that that son, though sacrificed, would, in some miraculous way, be restored
(Heb 11:19).

9. 亞伯拉罕在那裏築壇等等——若不是先祖有充分的意識,知道自己是順服神的旨意而作,這努力便會超乎人的忍受力;若不是以撒(當時已二十多歲)在順服上表現出同樣的信心,這大試驗便不能完成。
Originale inglese
9. Abraham built an altar, &c.--Had not the patriarch been sustained by the full consciousness of acting in obedience to God's will, the effort would have been too great for human endurance; and had not Isaac, then upwards of twenty years of age displayed equal faith in submitting, this great trial could not have gone through.

11, 12. 耶和華的使者……呼叫他等等——祭物實際上已經獻上了——獻祭的意圖、目的,都以至誠和充分顯明出來。那全知的見證者也以最高的認可之詞宣告了祂的悅納;使徒也說到它如同實際獻上了一般
(Heb 11:17; Jas 2:21)。
Originale inglese
11, 12. the angel . . . called, &c.--The sacrifice was virtually offered--the intention, the purpose to do it, was shown in all sincerity and fulness. The Omniscient witness likewise declared His acceptance in the highest terms of approval; and the apostle speaks of it as actually made
(Heb 11:17; Jas 2:21).

13-19. 亞伯拉罕舉目……觀看,看哪……一隻公羊等等——沒有別的方法比這場景的呈現更能恰當地使先祖對恩典的目的有清楚的概念:因此我們的主曾對此有所暗示
(Joh 8:56)。
Originale inglese
13-19. Abraham lifted up his eyes . . . and behold . . . a ram, &c.--No method was more admirably calculated to give the patriarch a distinct idea of the purpose of grace than this scenic representation: and hence our Lord's allusion to it
(Joh 8:56).
Ge 22:1-19.
獻以撒為祭。
1. 神試驗亞伯拉罕——不是煽動犯罪
(雅 1:13),
而是試驗、證明——為他的信心提供發展的機會
(彼前 1:7)。
說……我在這裡——隨時預備聽候神的差遣。
