- Abraham and Isaac: The Promise He Carried Up Moriah (Genesis 22)
Why does provide mean see in Genesis 22?
In Genesis 22 the Hebrew verb behind provide is the plain verb for seeing, the same verb as Hagar's name for God here. Abraham told Isaac that God will see for Himself the lamb (Genesis 22:8), and he named the mountain YHWH yireh, the LORD will see (Genesis 22:14). When God provides, He sees to it ahead of time.
