Keil and Delitzsch Biblical Commentary on the Old TestamentIn this eventful moment, when Isaac lay bound like a lamb upon the altar, about to receive the fatal stroke, the angel of the Lord called down from heaven to Abraham to stop, and do his son no harm. For the Lord now knew that Abraham was אלהים ירא God-fearing, and that his obedience of faith did extend even to the sacrifice of his own beloved son. The sacrifice was already accomplished in his heart, and he had fully satisfied the requirements of God. He was not to slay his son: therefore God prevented the outward fulfilment of the sacrifice by an immediate interposition, and showed him a ram, which he saw, probably being led to look round through a rustling behind him, with its horns fast in a thicket (אחר adv. behind, in the background); and as an offering provided by God Himself, he sacrificed it instead of his son.

Genesis 16:7 The angel of the LORD found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, the spring on the way to Shur. Genesis 21:17 And God heard the voice of the boy, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, "What troubles you, Hagar? Fear not, for God has heard the voice of the boy where he is. Genesis 21:18 Up! Lift up the boy, and hold him fast with your hand, for I will make him into a great nation." Genesis 22:1 After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here am I." Genesis 22:10 Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son. Genesis 24:7 The LORD, the God of heaven, who took me from my father's house and from the land of my kindred, and who spoke to me and swore to me, 'To your offspring I will give this land,' he will send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there. Genesis 31:11 Then the angel of God said to me in the dream, 'Jacob,' and I said, 'Here I am!'
