These were:\n(1) Country and kindred (Gen 12:1); (Mat 10:34-39); (Co2 6:14-18).\n(2) His nephew, Lot; especially dear to Abraham by nature, as a possible heir and as a fellow believer (Pe2 2:7); (Pe2 2:8); (Gen 13:1-18). The completeness of Abraham's separation from one who, though a believer, was a \"vessel unto dishonour,\" is shown by; (Gen 15:1-3); (Ti2 2:20); (Ti2 2:21); (Act 15:36-40).\n(3) His own plan about Ishmael (Gen 17:17); (Gen 17:18); (Ch1 13:1-14); (Ch1 15:1-2).\n(4) Isaac, \"thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest\" (Gen 22:1-19); (Heb 11:17); (Heb 11:18).\nlaid\nThe typical lessons here are:\n(1) Isaac, type of Christ \"obedient unto death\" (Phi 2:5-8).\n(2) Abraham, type of the Father, who \"spared not His own son, but delivered Him up for us all\" (Joh 3:16); (Rom 8:32).\n(3) the ram, type of substitution -- Christ offered as a burnt-offering in our stead, (Heb 10:5-10).\n(4) Compare resurrection (Heb 11:17-19); (Jam 2:21-23).\nangel\n(See Scofield) - (Heb 1:4).\nfearest\n(See Scofield) - (Psa 19:9).","title":"The Scofield Bible Commentary: Genesis: Genesis Chapter 22","type":"page"}
