Day 19 — Genesis 22–24 | “The LORD Will Provide”, Sarah’s burial, Rebekah for Isaac

Описание: Day 19 — Genesis 22–24 in the series “The Bible in Chronological Order — 365 Days.”

English — World English Bible (WEB)

This episode traces three foundational movements in the patriarchal narrative:

(1) The test on Moriah (Genesis 22)
The text opens by stating that God tested Abraham and leads the reader to the appointed mountain. The language is focused and concrete: the burnt offering is prepared, the decisive moment is stopped by a call from heaven, and the substitute offering is recorded with precision. The chapter preserves the event in the place-name: “The LORD Will Provide,” and reaffirms the blessing by oath, emphasizing offspring and the future of the promise.

(2) Sarah’s death and a burial possession (Genesis 23)
The narrative shifts to a public, formal setting: Sarah dies in Hebron, and Abraham negotiates a possession for a burial place among the children of Heth. The text records full-price payment and the exact measure—four hundred shekels of silver. The burial site at Machpelah becomes a lasting marker of real possession in the land, tied to family memory and burial.

(3) Rebekah and the continuation of Isaac’s line (Genesis 24)
With Abraham old and advanced in age, the chapter describes a solemn oath and the servant’s mission to seek a wife for Isaac outside the daughters of Canaan. The well-side meeting is narrated through concrete signs, hospitality, and confirmation of the way. Rebekah consents, departs, and the chapter closes with Isaac receiving her as his wife and being comforted after his mother’s death.

🎧 Suitable both for serious Bible study and calm nighttime listening, with clear reading and continuous flow.
