| And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham, and he said, Behold, [here] I [am].
"TEMPT" - Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. .... Lead us NOT into temptation. God does not "Tempt" us. "Tempt" is used in this sentence, by translation. The English translated word, does not convey the same sense of this word. Nacah (naw-saw') more closely resembles "Testing" than "Tempting!"
Synonyms of tested/proved/tempted Psalm 17:3 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited [me] in the night; thou has tried me, [and] shalt find nothing; I am purposed [that] my mouth shall not transgress.
Psalm 81:7 ________________________________Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved {bachan} thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.    Nacah/ TEMPT (TRY, TEST) :Exodus 17:2 Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD? Malachi 3:15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, [they that] tempt God are even delivered.

| And he said, Take now thy son, thine only [son] Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. 2Ch 3:1 Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where [the LORD] appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite. __________________________________________ Mount Moriah was a three day trip, from where Abraham lived, in the region of Beersheba, far south. Mount Moriah overlooks Jerusalem and Israel to the North. Mount Moriah is in Jerusalem.
 ________________________________________Abraham sent his firstborn son Ishmael into the wilderness of Beersheba, with only a loaf of bread and jug of water. His agony was known only to himself, and God, who told him to cut himself off from his son, who he loved. _____________________________________  He was a man of great faith, as hewas tried and true. It certainly was a sacrifice for him to watch Hagar and Ishmael depart from his eyes, into the wilderness. His consolation was Isaac, and a happy home life with Sarah, whom he adored. Abraham was a man after God's own heart. He was a man who loved his people. He loved Lot like a son, and treated him like a brother, as they sojourned, and set up camp in the fertile salt sea valley of Shittim, in the land of Canaan. He interceded for Lot, risking his life, and was blessed by the King of Salem, The High Priest of God the Highest, Melchizedek, the Righteous King-Priest, the figure of Jesus Christ to come. He prayed for Lot, and they were redeemed from the LORD's fiery wrath in the holocaust of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the towns in the valley of Shittim, in the Dead Sea. Abraham is called God's Prophet, yet, do we have written prophecies from him? It is through his life, and the generations to come, that God tells his story, until the ancestors, like the stars in the sky, like the words to describe God, are not countable, since they grow and transcend, or are removed and consolidated, but, by His command.  God is the PROPHET, and man is just man.But, God so loved the world, that he had a plan of salvation, and offers the water of eternal life, joy, and peace in His Kingdom to Come.  Who is worthy of God? All who love him.God loves us more than Abraham loved Isaac, so Abraham submitted to His command. When you've followed God for 40 years, like Abraham did, like Moses did, your faith is strong, and you trust his will. While Abraham loved Isaac, with all his human strength, he loved God first, beyond his own flesh, and proved it.  He knew he served a gracious and perfectGod, who like a father, is there to guide us. What kind of father is willing to sacrifice his only son, the apple of his eye, for the highest purpose, the Holy purpose of the LORD Almighty, as commanded?  God is a father, whose covenant was confirmedin Jesus Christ. He alone, has been our blood sacrifice for the past 2000 years, our propitiation, written in the Book of the Law, as "Debt Paid." We can approach the throne of God, not as transgressors, but, appearing in white linen of the Saints, the blood of the sacrifice applied to our sins, to wash them away, along with all our tears.  Every father who said, goodbye Danny Boy,to his lovely son, on the eve of wars past, has known these miseries, as God shares in our despair, hears our cries, and has an immutable Plan of GLORY, GRACE and JOY. Music, laughter, but, behind this vale, rivers of tears and moans. When we step beyond this veil we will see it too, especially with the faith of Abraham, our ancestor in faith first, and then blood. He was blessed with the incomprehensible sight of God's face, as we all shall see with our own eyes. What sacrifice have we made in love for God, and our fellow man? How far does selfishness, false-pride, obstinacy, and vendettas take us, when we must stand before the throne of the majesty of Creation, Our Creator, God Almighty, and the lamb which was slain, is before our eyes?  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| And Abraham said unto his young men, abide ye here, with the ass, and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid [it] upon Isaac, his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went together  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here [am] I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where [is] the lamb for a burnt offering?  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here [am] I. (hineni)  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou has not withheld thy son, thine only [son] from me.  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind [him] a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
Sacrifice of the ram:
Gen 15: 9 And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon. Lev 5:15 If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance in the holy things of the LORD; then he shall bring for his trespass unto the LORD a ram without blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering: _________________________________ Burnt offering ( occurs 190 x):

| And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said [to] this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen. This mountain overlooks the land that the LORD promised to Abraham's seed in Jacob, surnamed Israel: From Dan to Beersheba. 
The LORD proved to Abraham, incontravertably that God SEES.God showed Hagar that God hears, (Ishmael means God hears.): __________________________________________________________ Gen 16:11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou [art] with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael: because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
Gen 17:20 AAnd as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: ____________________________________________________Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; 12 princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation. _____________________________________________________ Sometimes it is hard to remember that the Hebrews, Israelites, and Jews are blood to the people who are their sworn enemies, and want to kill them constantly, and vica versa. Vendettas fall hard, but, God will prevail. Imagine what Abraham would say about our situation in the Middle East. Does anyone believe he would want the seed of Isaac wiped out of existence, for eternity, or to nullify the Plan of the God of Abraham? God blessed Abraham, by blessing Ishmael, but, he most certainly had His Plan for Isaac and Jacob. Through them, came the lamb of God, the Messiah, root and seed of David.  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| And said, By myself have I sword, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only [son]: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which [is] upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
Joshua 22:2 And said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you: Jer 9:13 And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein; OBEYED:(Hear) x 1159
Blessing of the nations through Abraham's messianic seed: *occurs x 7 : Gen 26:4 And I will make thy see to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; Psalm 72:17 His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and [men] shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * (PSALM 72 is King David, the Prophet and Sanctified Musician's last song, where he prophecized one last time, indicating Messiah is to come, from his line, and the King's lineage in Jerusalem will be from Everlasting to Everlasting, as long as the sun shines, according to God's Word, and Great Plan. ) Malachi 3:12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts. Gal 3:8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached fore the gospel unto Abraham, [saying], In thee all nations shall be blessed. ______________________________________________ | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor; | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| And his concubine, whose name [was] Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
