Génesis 17:22 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 17:22

And he left off talking; with him
After he had finished all he had to say to him at this time. It was great condescension in the divine Being to talk with a creature; it was wonderful grace and kindness to make such promises to him, as he did, and indulge him with answers of prayer and communion with him; but the highest enjoyments of God here are not lasting; uninterrupted communion with him is reserved for another world:

and God went up from Abraham;
from the earth, where he had been with Abraham, and ascended above him up to heaven, in a visible, and very likely in an human form, in which he descended: the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan paraphrase it, "the glory of the Lord", the glorious Shechinah, the Lord of life and glory.

Génesis 17:22 In-Context

20 Y en cuanto a Ismael, te he oído; he aquí, yo lo bendeciré y lo haré fecundo y lo multiplicaré en gran manera. Engendrará a doce príncipes y haré de él una gran nación.
21 Pero mi pacto lo estableceré con Isaac, el cual Sara te dará a luz por este tiempo el año que viene.
22 Cuando terminó de hablar con él, ascendió Dios dejando a Abraham.
23 Entonces Abraham tomó a su hijo Ismael y a todos los siervos nacidos en su casa y a todos los que habían sido comprados con su dinero, a todo varón de entre las personas de la casa de Abraham, y aquel mismo día les circuncidó la carne de su prepucio, tal como Dios le había dicho.
24 Abraham tenía noventa y nueve años cuando fue circuncidado en la carne de su prepucio.
