Note 7 — Chapter XXII
Reading edition
It strikes me that we get, in Abraham's journey to Mount Moriah, a remarkable type of the mysterious scene afterwards exhibited at Calvary, when God was really providing himself a lamb. We can have no difficulty in losing sight of Herod and Pilate, the chief priests and scribes, the Pharisees and the multitude, and thus we have none remaining but the Father and the Son, who, in company, ascend the Mount and carry out the gracious work of redemption in the unbroken solitude of that place.
