Genesis 22-24 - Yahweh Will Provide

The Offering of Isaac

Gen 22:1-2 LSB - [1] Now it happened after these things, that God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am." [2] Then He said, "Take now your son, your only one, whom you love, Isaac, and go forth to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I will tell you."

Gen 22:8 LSB - [8] And Abraham said, "God will provide for Himself the lamb for the burnt offering, my son." So the two of them walked on together.

Heb 11:17-19 LSB - [17] By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was offering up his only [son], [18] to whom it was said, "IN ISAAC YOUR SEED SHALL BE CALLED." [19] He considered that God is able to raise [people] even from the dead, from which, figuratively speaking, he also received him back.

Gen 22:13-14 LSB - [13] Then Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, [there was] a ram after [it had been] caught in the thicket by its horns; and Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up for a burnt offering in the place of his son. [14] And Abraham called the name of that place Yahweh Will Provide, as it is said this day, "In the mount of Yahweh it will be provided."

JEHOVAH–JIREH, The LORD will provide by John Newton

Tune: Beyond Imagination 

The saints should never be dismayed,

Nor sink in hopeless fear;

For when they least expect his aid,

The Savior will appear.

This Abraham found, he raised the knife,

GOD saw, and said, “Forbear;”

Yon ram shall yield his meaner life,

Behold the victim there.
