Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(19) That God was able.--These words are better taken as the expression of a general truth--"Accounting that God is able to raise up even from the dead.' The faith which tests and brings conviction of the things not seen made this reasoning possible, and gave power to act upon it even when Isaac must be slain.From whence also.--Better, from whence he did in a figure (literally, a parable) receive him. As in a figure the offering was completely carried out (Hebrews 11:17), so also in figure he received his son back from the dead.Parallel Commentaries ...Greek[Abraham] reasonedλογισάμενος (logisamenos)Verb - Aorist Participle Middle - Nominative Masculine SingularStrong's 3049: To reckon, count, charge with; reason, decide, conclude; think, suppose. thatὅτι (hoti)ConjunctionStrong's 3754: Neuter of hostis as conjunction; demonstrative, that; causative, because.GodΘεός (Theos)Noun - Nominative Masculine SingularStrong's 2316: A deity, especially the supreme Divinity; figuratively, a magistrate; by Hebraism, very.couldδυνατὸς (dynatos)Adjective - Nominative Masculine SingularStrong's 1415: (a) of persons: powerful, able, (b) of things: possible.
