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.
Geneva Bible - And when they came to the place which God had shewed him, Abraham built an altar there, and couched the wood, and (e) bound Isaac his son, (*) and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
(e) For it is like that his father had declared to him God's commandment, whereunto he shewed
himself obedient.
(*) James 2:21 .
Isaac is a protype of Christ (Abraham gave his only son as a sacrifice, based on faith in God). Isaac, who was ready to go to his death willingly. Isaac, the seed of promise as the future generations promised by God, just as Jesus is the one through whom all who will be saved must come. The ram would be the substitute, and Jesus was the substitute for eternity of the annual sacrifice for atonement of sins.
