Read Genesis 22 · Matthew Henry on Genesis 22
22:9 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.
“laid”
The typical lessons here are:
(1) Isaac, type of Christ "obedient unto death" Phil 2:5–8.
(2) Abraham, type of the Father, who "spared not His own son, but delivered Him up for us all" John 3:16; Rom 8:32.
(3) the ram, type of substitution--Christ offered as a burnt-offering in our stead, Heb 10:5–10.
(4) cf. resurrection Heb 11:17–19; Jas 2:21–23.
22:11 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
“angel”
(See Scofield "Heb 1:4").
22:12 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 hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.
“fearest”
(See Scofield "Ps 19:9").
22:15 And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,
“angel”
(See Scofield "Heb 1:4").

22:1 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.
“And it came to pass”
The spiritual experience of Abraham was marked by four great crises, each of which involved a surrender of something naturally most dear. These were:
(1) Country and kindred Gen 12:1; Matt 10:34–39; 2 Cor 6:14–18
(2) His nephew, Lot; especially dear to Abraham by nature, as a possible heir and as a fellow believer 2 Pet 2:7; 2 Pet 2:8; Gen 13:1–18. The completeness of Abraham's separation from one who, though a believer, was a "vessel unto dishonour," is shown by; Gen 15:1–3; 2 Tim 2:20; 2 Tim 2:21; Acts 15:36–40.
(3) His own plan about Ishmael Gen 17:17; Gen 17:18; 1 Chr 13:1–14; 1 Chr 15:1; 1 Chr 15:2.
(4) Isaac, "thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest" Gen 22:1–19; Heb 11:17; Heb 11:18.
