Genesis 22:19-24

19 So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.
20 And it came to pass after these things that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she has also born sons unto thy brother Nahor;
21 Huz, his firstborn, and Buz, his brother, and Kemuel, the father of Aram
22 and Chesed and Hazo and Pildash and Jidlaph and Bethuel.
23 And Bethuel begat Rebekah. Milcah gave birth to these eight unto Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, also gave birth to Tebah and Gaham and Thahash and Maachah.

Genesis 22:19-24 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO GENESIS 22

In this chapter we have an account of an order given by God to Abraham to sacrifice his son, Ge 22:1,2; of his readiness to obey the will of God, he immediately preparing everything for that purpose, Ge 22:3-10, of the order being reversed, and another sacrifice substituted in its room, which occasioned the giving a new name to the place where it was done, Ge 22:11-14; upon which the promise of special blessings, of a numerous offspring, and of the seed in whom all nations should be blessed, is renewed, Ge 22:15-18; after this Abraham returns to Beersheba, where he is informed of the increase of his brother Nahor's family, Ge 22:19-24.
