Matthew Poole and continuators on Nehemiah 9:8

8 And foundest his heart faithful before thee ▪ and madest a covenant with him, to give the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite, and the Girgashite, to give it, I say, to his seed, and hast performed thy words, for thou art righteous.

When thou madest that admirable trial of his faith and obedience in requiring him to offer up his onely son Isaac, thou didst find out, and discover his faithfulness, which was well known to thee before, and also was wrought in him by thy grace.
