This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Abraham rose ... early, etc. - That there might be no appearance of delay or reluctance on his part, he made every preparation for the sacrifice before setting out - the materials, the knife, and the servants to convey them. From Beer-sheba to Moriah, a journey of two days, he had the painful secret pent up in his bosom. So distant a place must have been chosen for some important reason. It is generally thought that this was one the hills of Jerusalem, on which the Great Sacrifice was afterwards offered.
