What does Genesis 22:15 mean?
Previously, Abraham had taken his son, Isaac, to a particular mountain at God's command. There, so far as Abraham knew, he was to sacrifice his son to God (Genesis 22:1–2). Abraham's decision to trust that God had something unseen in mind was rewarded: God intervenes to prevent Isaac from being harmed (Genesis 22:11–12). The long-awaited son of Abraham and Sarah has been spared. The ram has been provided by God and offered in Isaac's place (Genesis 22:13–14). Abraham has named the mountain "The LORD will provide."This encounter with God is not over, yet. The angel of the Lord—the Lord Himself—has more to say to Abraham. He calls down a second time.
