Excerpt from Notes, Critical and Practical on the Book of Genesis, Vol. 2 of 2: Designed as a General Help to Biblical Reading and Instruction
On the whole, we regard this as a ve ry rational and plausible hypothesis, and one that derives no little support from the place where the scene of the trans action was laid. If the design of the command had been simply a trial of Abraham's faith, it is not easy to see why he should have been required to go to such a distance to perform an act that might as well have been perform ed anywhere else. But when We find him directed to go to the site of Jerusa lem, and to rear his altar, and offer up his sacrifice, on or near the very spot where the Saviour was afterwards actu ally crucified, We cannot well avoid see ing in the incident. A designed typical and prophetical character. But a fuller view of the event in its various bear ings will be gained from the explana tions that follow.
