Matthew Poole and continuators on Genesis 22:7

7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, my father : and he said, Here am I, my son . And he said, Behold, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt-offering?

A compellation which might both wound Abrahams Heart and admonish him how unbecoming to a Father that action was which he was going about.

Which expression shewed that he had not put off Fatherly Affection to him, and that his intention did not arise from any unnatural and barbarous disposition, nor from any decay of Love to him, but from an higher cause, even the declared Will of God.
