Commentary by Rosana Garcia Barros:
"Hear us, my lord: You are a mighty prince among us" (Gen 23:6) After weeping and mourning the death of his beloved wife Sarah, Abraham got up and went to the people of Canaan. He asked the sons of Heth to give him the right to buy the field of Machpelah to bury his wife.
The dialogue between that people and Abraham is interesting. They called him "the prince of God," such was the respect they had for him. Besides receiving Abraham well, they also offered the field he asked for at no cost. However, Abraham offered to pay for the field. Does not this teach us something? Abraham did not call himself a prince, but he was called so by others. And as a true leader and prince of God he behaved as such, placing himself in the role of a servant before the people of the region. What a beautiful type of Christ was Abraham in that place! Today, we also have the privilege of being witnesses for Jesus (Acts 1:8). May we choose to serve more than to be served because this is an attitude of a true prince of God!"

Commentary by Douglas Jacobs :
"God had promised Abraham an heir and descendants as numerous as the stars of heaven (Gen 15:4, 5). But in Genesis 22, when Abraham’s heir, Isaac, is almost a man, God commands Abraham to sacrifice him as a burnt offering. How should one respond when God’s command seems to contradict His promise? In the past Abraham had tried to save his family by passing his wife off as his sister, and he had tried to fulfill God’s promise of a son by sleeping with his wife’s maid. But now Abraham is finally ready to live by what God had asked him before Isaac’s birth, “Is anything too hard for the Lord?” (Gen 18:14). When Isaac asks him, “Where is the lamb?” Abraham replies, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son” (Gen 22:8). And on the spot where temple sacrifices would be offered and near where Jesus would die to save us from death, God provided a substitute ram in place of Isaac. When God’s commands seem impossible to obey, are you willing to believe God's promise? Does the Good News that Jesus died so that you can have eternal life give you faith to obey all of God’s commands?" Douglas Jacobs Professor, Southern Adventist University (retired)

Commentary by Edwin Reynolds:
"The promised son is born “at the set time of which God had spoken to him” (v. 2). Compare Galatians 4:4. God never fails in His promises, and He is always right on time. Abraham also keeps his part of the covenant, circumcising Isaac on the eighth day, “as God had commanded him” (Gen 21: 4). Ishmael, now fourteen years old (cf. 16:16; 17:24-26), mocked at the birth of Isaac, no doubt feeling very superior, yet jealous at the joy this younger brother had brought into the home (21:6-8) and at the promises to be fulfilled through Isaac (v. 12; cf. 17:19). Despite the promises made to Ishmael and his descendants (17:20; 21:13), the covenant of the salvation of the human race through the promised Seed of the woman (Gen 3:15; 12:3; Gal 4:4-5) was to be through Isaac (Gen 21:12). Compare this situation with the allegory Paul describes in Galatians 4:21-31. What lessons are here for us? Despite Abraham’s earlier poor representation of right principles in the presence of Abimelech, king of Gerar in the land of the Philistines (Gen 20), Abimelech observes that God is with Abraham in all that he does. Can observers say of us, despite our flaws, that God is with us in all that we do?" ❤️ Jump to Daily Bible Reading https://www.revivalandreformation.org/bhp/en/bible/gen/21 Our accounts in other social networks:

Commentary by Edwin Reynolds:
"God commissioned two witnesses to personally investigate matters in Sodom, since their judgment would be final and there should be no doubt that it was just (cf. 18:25; Deut 17:6; 19:15; 2 Cor 13:1). Sodom was condemned not only for its sexual immorality and perversion (Jude 7) but also for its arrogance, overindulgence, prosperous ease, and failure to care for the poor and needy (Ezek 16:49-50). By its failure to be hospitable to the strangers who sought refuge there and its sexual perversion manifested toward Lot’s guests, Sodom condemned itself before God’s two witnesses. Lot and his family were instructed by the two angels to flee before they would be caught up in its punishment.The reluctance with which Lot’s family responded to the command to flee shows the dangerous influence of the attractions of one’s surroundings. Are we too careless about the influences with which we surround ourselves? What will be the result? Sodom and Gomorrah became for all time the example of how God will deal with unrepentant wickedness (2 Pet 2:6), and the tragedy of Lot and his family provide a lesson in the hazards of permitting ourselves to be corrupted by the attractions and ways of the world (cf. 1 John 2:15-17)." ❤️ Jump to Daily Bible Reading https://www.revivalandreformation.org/bhp/en/bible/gen/20Our accounts in other social networks:
