Commentary on Genesis 22:6

Theological / Devotional

They went. Father and son began the ascent in silence, Abraham in meditation and prayer, and Isaac pondering over his father’s unwonted reticence as to the nature and purpose of their journey. Alone with his father, solitude invited Isaac to give expression to his bewilderment over the absence of a lamb.

Abraham’s Journey to Mount Moriah

Abraham lived at Beersheba, close to Abimelech. It is thought that he journeyed to Mt. Moriah by the route through the Shephelah rather than through the mountains of Judah, from which he had earlier withdrawn, for that road was easier to travel and bordered the plain of the Philistines, with whom he was friendly.
