LESSON 14 (April 5) Genesis 22-23
The Beginning of Sacrifices to the LORD on Moriah
Think about the first words in Genesis 22. “After these things God tested Abraham.” Why would God do such a thing? What good can come from “tests”? James 1:2-4 might prove helpful as you think through those questions.
Abraham is called by God to “go to the land of Moriah” (22:2). What is the significance of this
geographical area in other eras of the Bible?
Read Abraham’s statements carefully in Genesis 22:1-8. Is there anything that stands out to you?
“For now I know that you fear God” (Gen 22:12). What does this statement mean?
What is the significance of the message of the angel of the LORD to Abraham in Genesis 22:15-19?
In Genesis 23, Sarah dies and Abraham purchases “the cave of Machpelah.” What members of this
family are eventually buried in this cave?
