CHAPTER 24

CHAPTER 24

Abraham sends down Eliezer (who represents the Holy Ghost) to get a wife for the risen Isaac, who is in no condition to go back to his old country, all things being given to him as son and heir. The bride is taken out of the old land, gifts conferred upon her: she is brought to Isaac, and into the place of the vessel of promise — Sarah’s tent. The Jew had been the vessel of promise, the church now is. This closes Isaac’s history as the risen one.
