Did Isaac disappear?
Feb 2, 2021 11:55:32 #
One more mystery is hidden in the story of the sacrifice of Isaac - Aqedat Yitzhaq. After all that happened on Mount Moriah, after the raised knife was stopped by a voice from heaven, "Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose and went together to Beersheba".(Genesis 22:19). But where did Isaac disappear to? What happened to him after the Aqedah? Why isn’t Isaac mentioned?
This question has triggered numerous discourses and speculations – where did Isaac go after the sacrifice? The Scriptures inform us only about Abraham's return. But Isaac vanishes and does not reappear until Genesis 24, right before his meeting with Rebekah.
Gen. 24:62 says that Isaac came from the way of Beer Lahai Roi (“וְיִצְחָק בָּא מִבּוֹא, בְּאֵר לַחַי רֹאִי”). If you don’t know Hebrew, this name means nothing. In Hebrew, however, it has a profound meaning: The Well of “the One Who Sees Me Lives”! While Isaac had vanished from the scene, he never vanished from God’s sight. Though his parents could not see him, God still saw him and knew everything about him – just as He sees you and me: The One Who Sees Me Lives. In our live online Biblical Hebrew course, we will unearth fascinating nuggets of meaning that cannot be seen in translation. Enroll today and discover a new world of meaning.

They sent emails during the following year, like those bahmer is kind enough to post here.

Thanks for posting this info, bahmer,
I read it whenever I visit OPP, but seldom comment.
It adds greatly to the depth of understanding available in most modern printed texts.

Your welcome Zemirah and how are you doing this very cold winter? I just woke up this morning and I have no running water in the house. I have a well and may have to call a well repair man this AM/ I hope that it is not to costly.

Well water! That must be great for drinking. I'm so sorry it's frozen.
How low was your temperature overnight?
If you have a rise of temperature today, perhaps it will quickly thaw.
If the cost is going to be prohibitive, I'd order a few gallons of bottled water for the day from a grocery, if they deliver - or if anyone in the neighborhood or even a friend or relative would deliver a 5 gallon tank of water to you, maybe from their own home water tap, and pray for a heat wave.
Do you know your weather forecast?
I'm in slow motion, bahmer. I believe I'll leave this computer, go to the kitchen and fix coffee.
It is 21 degrees outside at present.
I have two new websites in progress, one in my own domain name, the other has the webhost's URL, a backslash, then my title.
One is for my own thoughts on various Biblical passages, the other for personal memories, family pictures, poems I've written and random thoughts.
Neither is ready to publish online, but perhaps by Spring, God willing.
I hope and will pray your water woes are shortly resolved.
