SEV Biblia, Chapter 22:16
y dijo: Por mí mismo he jurado, dijo el SEÑOR, que por cuanto has hecho esto, y no me has rehusado tu hijo, tu único;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 22:16
Verse 16. By myself have I sworn] So we find that the person who was called the angel of the Lord is here called Jehovah; See note on ""ver. 2"". An oath or an appeal to God is, among men, an end to strife; as God could swear by no greater, he sware by himself: being willing more abundantly, says the apostle, to show unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, he confirmed it by an oath, that two immutable things, (his PROMISE and his OATH,) in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before us. See Heb. vi. 13-18.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 15-19 - There are high declarations of God's favour to Abraham in thi confirmation of the covenant with him, exceeding any he had yet bee blessed with. Those that are willing to part with any thing for God shall have it made up to them with unspeakable advantage. The promise ver. #(18), doubtless points at the Messiah, and the grace of the gospel. Hereby we know the loving-kindness of God our Saviour toward sinful man, in that he hath not withheld his Son, his only Son, from us. Hereby we perceive the love of Christ, in that he gave himself sacrifice for our sins. Yet he lives, and calls to sinners to come to him, and partake of his blood-bought salvation. He calls to his redeemed people to rejoice in him, and to glorify him. What then shal we render for all his benefits? Let his love constrain us to live no to ourselves, but to Him who died for us, and rose again. Admiring an adoring His grace, let us devote our all to his service, who laid dow his life for our salvation. Whatever is dearest to us upon earth is ou Isaac. And the only way for us to find comfort in an earthly thing, is to give it by faith into the hands of God. Yet remember that Abraha was not justified by his readiness to obey, but by the infinitely mor noble obedience of Jesus Christ; his faith receiving this, relying of this, rejoicing in this, disposed and made him able for such wonderfu self-denial and duty. (Ge 22:20-24)
