Gen 22:5 | TNotes | STEP | 22:5 We will worship there, and then we will come (or We will worship there so that we may come back ): Abraham’s amazing statement makes us wonder what he was thinking. Abraham knew that God had planned the future of the covenant around Isaac and that God wanted him to sacrifice Isaac. He could not reconcile these things in his mind; he could only do what God commanded him to do, and leave the future to God (cp. Heb 11:17-19 ).
