[1] {everlasting God}
(1) The Hebrew Olam is used in Scripture: (a) of secret or hidden
things (e.g.
# Le 5:2
"hidden";
# 2Ki 4:27
"hid";
# Ps 10:1
"hidest");
(b) an indefinite time or age
# Le 25:32
"at any time";
# Jos 24:2
"in old time"). Hence the word is used to express the eternal
duration of the being of God,
# Ps 90:2
"From everlasting to everlasting"), and is the Hebrew synonym of
the Greek aion, age or dispensation.
» See Note "Ge 1:26"
(2) The ideas therefore of things kept secret and of indefinite
duration combine in this word. Both ideas inhere in the doctrine of
the dispensations or ages. They are among the "mysteries" of God
# Eph 1:9,10 3:2-6 Mt 13:11
The "everlasting" God (El Olam) is therefore that name of Deity in
virtue of which He is the God whose wisdom has divided all time and
eternity into the mystery of successive ages or dispensations. It is
not merely that He is everlasting, but that He is God over everlasting
things. See, for
other names of Deity: Gen 1.1, note; 2.4, note; 2.7; 14.8, note;
15.2, note; 17.1, note; 1Sa 1.3, note.

[2] {And it came to pass}
The spiritual experience of Abraham was marked by four great crises,
each of which involved a surrender of something naturally most dear.
These were: (1) Country and kindred
# Ge 12:1 Mt 10:34-39 2Co 6:14-18
(2) His nephew, Lot; especially dear to Abraham by nature,
as a possible heir and as a fellow believer
# 2Pe 2:7,8 Ge 13:1-18
The completeness of Abraham's separation from one who, though a
believer, was a "vessel unto dishonour," is shown by
# Ge 15:1-3 2Ti 2:20,21 Ac 15:36-40
(3) His own plan about Ishmael
# Ge 17:17,18 1Ch 13:1-14 15:1,2
(4) Isaac, "thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest"
# Ge 22:1-19 Heb 11:17,18

[1] {laid}
The typical lessons here are: (1) Isaac, type of Christ "obedient
unto death"
# Php 2:5-8
(2) Abraham, type of the Father, who "spared not His own son, but
delivered Him up for us all"
# Joh 3:16 Ro 8:32
(3) the ram, type of substitution--Christ offered as a burnt-offering
in our stead
# Heb 10:5-10
(4) cf. resurrection
# Heb 11:17-19 Jas 2:21-23

[1] {buryingplace}
Cf. Gen 33.19 50.13 Jos 24.32 Ac 7.15,16. A discrepancy in these
statements has been fancied. It disappears entirely before the natural
supposition that in the interval of about eighty years between the
purchase by Abraham of the family sepulchre (Ge 23.4-20) and Jacob's
purchase (Ge 33.19), the descendants of Hamor (or "Emmor," Ac 7.15,16)
had resumed possession of the field in which the burial cave was
situated. Instead of asserting an ancient title by inheritance, Jacob
repurchased the field. Heth was the common ancestor.
