FIRST QUESTION:
1. How OLD was Isaac when Abraham tried to sacrifice him?
How Old Was Isaac When Abraham Was Told to Offer Him?
| by | Dave Miller, Ph.D. |
The Bible does not give a direct answer to the question of Isaac’s age when he was about to be offered as a sacrifice by his father. We therefore must conclude that neither our understanding of the passage nor our grasp of the points that God wants us to learn depend on knowing his age. However, some linguistic data are available that shed some light on the matter by pointing us in the direction of Isaac being older than we normally think, i.e., 20+.
In the first place, consider the details pertaining to chronology. Sarah gave birth to Isaac when she was 90 years old (Genesis 17:17). She would have been 92 or 93, 95 at most, when Isaac was weaned. She died at age 127 (Genesis 23:1)—when Isaac was 37 years old. Following Isaac’s birth, the events of the rest of Genesis chapter 21 (i.e., the driving out of Hagar and Ishmael, and the incident with Abimelech), as well as the events of chapter 22, all occurred during a 35-year period (approximately). Notice the expression “many days” in Genesis 21:34 (Mahabang panahong nanirahan si Abraham sa lupain ng mga Filisteo.) , as well as the phrase “after these things” in 22:1 ( Pagkalipas ng ilang panahon,). These allusions would suggest that some time had elapsed prior to the offering of Isaac.
GENESIS 21:34 MAHABANG PANAHONG……….
GENESIS 22:1 PAGKALIPAS NG ILANG PANAHON……..(THE SACRIFICE OF ISAAC)
In the second place, the term “lad” used to refer to Isaac (21:5,12) is a flexible Hebrew term that does not necessarily refer to what we ordinarily think of—i.e., a boy. Rather, the term encompasses a wide range of meanings—from a baby (e.g., Exodus 2:6; 2 Samuel 12:16) to a young man (e.g., Absalom in 2 Samuel 14:21; 18:5). It even can refer to “servant” or “attendant” (e.g., 2 Samuel 16:1) as well as soldier/leader (1 Kings 20:14,15,17,19). Look closely at the context of the Isaac passage in 22:5 where the servants that accompanied Abraham and Isaac are referred to as “young men” (22:3,5,19). The word “servants” is precisely the same term that is used in verses 5 and 12 to refer to Isaac (cf. Gesenius, 1979, p. 555; Wigram, 1980, p. 823; Harris, et al., 1980, 2:585-586). Were the servants that accompanied Abraham 5 to 7 year olds? Or were they older?
Third, Isaac was given the task of carrying the wood for the impending sacrifice (22:6). There would have been enough wood to consume a human body when set on fire. Could a 5- to 7-year-old child carry such a burden?
GENESIS 22:6 Ipinapasan ni Abraham kay Isaac ang kahoy na panggatong. Dala naman niya ang apoy at patalim, at magkasama silang lumakad. (SO HINDI ITO MABUBUHAT NG 5 TO 7 YEARS OLD CHILD MAHIHIRAPAN ITO)
ETO NA MGA HULA NG EDAD 🙂 AYON SA PAGBUBUHAT NG KAHOY NA TUTUPOK SA ISANG KATAWAN!!!
Several commentators have weighed in on this question. Leupold wrote: “He may by this time have arrived at the age of some eighteen to twenty years” (1942, 1:625). Josephus stated: “Now Isaac was twenty-five years old” (1.13.2). Adam Clarke said: “[I]t is more probable that he was now about thirty-three” (1:140, emp. in orig.). Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown asserted that Isaac was “then upwards of twenty years of age” (n.d., p. 29). J. Curtis Manor described him as “a youth of sufficient strength and agility to carry a load of firewood up a mountainside” (1994, p. 103). Keil and Delitzsch affirmed that “this son had grown into a young man” (1976, 1:248). Morris added: “[T]he meaning in Isaac’s case should also be ‘young man’ ” (1976, p. 373).
We conclude that as the several lines of evidence converge, they point to Isaac being a young man—not a young boy.

NGAYON KUHANIN NATIN ANG NASA 18 YEARS OLD TO 20 YEARS OLD SI ISAAC NG IAALAY…
DITO NABALITAAN NI ABRAHAM ANG PAGKAKAROON NG ANAK NI NACOR..
LET US GET THE CASE OF ISAAC IS 18 TO 20 YEARS OLD
GENESIS 22:20-24
Ang mga Angkan ni Nahor
20 Hindi nagtagal, nabalitaan ni Abraham na si Milca, ang asawa ng kanyang kapatid na si Nahor, ay nagkaroon din ng mga anak na lalaki. 21 Ang panganay ay si Hus, sumunod si Buz at pagkatapos ay si Kemuel na ama ni Aram. 22 Ang iba pang naging anak ni Nahor kay Milca, ayon sa pagkakasunud-sunod ay sina Kesed, Hazo, Pildas, Jidlaf at Bethuel. 23 Si Bethuel ang ama ni Rebeca. Ito ang walong anak ni Nahor kay Milca. 24 Kay Reuma na asawang-lingkod ni Nahor, naging anak naman niya sina Tebah, Gaham, Tahas at Maaca.
FOCUS IN GENESIS 20:20 HINDI NAGTAGAL!!!!!!!!!!
FOCUS IN GENESIS 20:20 Some time later Abraham was told,
SO SA EDAD NA 18 TO 20 NI ISAAC NAPABALITA NA ITONG SI BETHUEL AY MAY ANAK NA REBECCA.
SO ISAAC IS AROUND 18 TO 20 YEARS OLD WHEN THEY HEARD ABOUT THE NEWS ABOUT BETUEL…
40 YEARS OLD SI ISAAC NG PAKASALAN SI REBECCA
Isaac was 40 when he married Rebekah (Genesis 25:20).
SO THE DIFFERENCE OF AGE OF SACRIFICE(LET SAY 18 YEARS OLD) AND THE AGE OF ISAAC WHEN MARRIED TO REBECCA (40) THIS CAN BE THE AGE OF REBECCA!!!! (POSSIBLE THE AGE OF REBECCA WHEN GOD MARRIED IS 22)
NOW LET US READ THE STORY OF REBECCA IN GENESIS CHAPTER 24 SEE THE BOLD LETTERS NOT THE BOLD ITALICS IF ALL THESE THINGS CAN BE DONE BY 3 YEAR OLD GIRL.
GENESIS 22:13-24
13-14 Tatayo po ako rito sa tabi ng balon at hihintayin ang pagdating ng mga babae buhat sa lunsod, para umigib. Ako po’y makikiinom sa isa sa kanila. Kapag sinabi niyang, ‘Uminom ka, at paiinumin ko rin ang iyong mga kamelyo,’ iyon na sana ang babaing inihanda ninyo para sa inyong aliping si Isaac. Sa gayon malalaman kong tinupad na ninyo ang inyong pangako sa aking panginoon.”
15 Hindi pa natatapos ang kanyang panalangin, dumating si Rebeca na may pasan na banga ng tubig. Siya ay anak ni Bethuel at apo ni Milca na asawa ni Nahor na kapatid ni Abraham.
16 Siya’y DALAGA pa at napakaganda. Lumusong siya sa kinaroroonan ng balon, pinuno ang kanyang banga, at umahon. 17 Sumalubong agad ang alipin at sinabi, “Maaari bang makiinom?”
18 “Aba, opo,” sagot ng babae. At inalalayan niya ang banga habang umiinom ang alipin.
19 Nang ito’y makainom na ay sinabi pa ng DALAGA, “Paiinumin ko na rin po ang inyong mga kamelyo hanggang gusto nila.”
20 Isinalin niya sa painuman ang laman ng banga at pabalik-balik siyang sumalok hanggang sa mapainom ang lahat ng kamelyo. 21 Tahimik na pinagmasdan ng alipin ang DALAGA at iniisip kung iyon na kaya ang sagot ni Yahweh sa kanyang panalangin.
22 Matapos makainom ang mga kamelyo, inilabas ng alipin ang dala niyang mamahaling singsing a at dalawang pulseras na pawang lantay na ginto, at ibinigay sa dalaga.
23 Pagkatapos, ito’y tinanong niya, “Sino ba ang iyong mga magulang? Maaari ba kaming makituloy sa inyo ngayong gabi?”
24 Sumagot ang babae, “Ako po’y anak ni Bethuel na anak nina Nahor at Milca. 25 Maluwag po sa amin at maraming pagkain para sa inyong mga hayop.”
GENESIS 24: 28 Nagmamadaling umuwi ang dalaga at isinalaysay ang buong pangyayari sa tahanan ng kanyang ina.
ENGLISH GENESIS 24:13-24
13 Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:
14 And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.
15 And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
16 And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.
18 And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
19 And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.
20 And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.
21 And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the Lord had made his journey prosperous or not.
22 And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold;
23 And said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room in thy father’s house for us to lodge in?
24 And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.
GENESIS 24:28 And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother’s house these things.
DAMSEL = a young unmarried woman.
THE END!!!
AMEN!!

100 TAON NG ISILANG NI SARA SI ISAAC.

5 Isandaang taon na si Abraham nang ipanganak si Isaac. 6 Sinabi ni Sara,
“Nakakatawa ang ginawang ito sa akin ng Diyos at sinumang makarini
90 YEARS OLD SI SARAH AT 100 TAON SI ABRAHAM
GENESIS 17:17 Muling nagpatirapa si Abraham, ngunit napatawa siya nang kanyang maisip
na siya’y matanda na. Nasabi niya sa sarili, “Magkakaanak pa ba ang isang lalaki na
sandaang taong gulang(100 YEARS OLD) na? At si Sara! Maglilihi pa ba siya gayong siya’y
siyamnapung taon na?”
Sarah died at aged 127 (Genesis 23:1-2).
1 Nabuhay si Sara nang 127 taon. 2 Namatay siya sa Lunsod ng [[Arba]], na tinatawag
ding [[Hebron]] sa lupain ng Canaan. Ito’y labis na ikinalungkot ni Abraham.
40 YEARS OLD SI ISAAC NG PAKASALAN SI REBECCA
Isaac was 40 when he married Rebekah (Genesis 25:20).
GENESIS 25:7 Si Abraham ay nabuhay nang [[[175]]] taon. 8 Matandang-matanda na siya
nang mamatay.
GENESIS 22:1 1 Pagkalipas ng ilang panahon, (AFTER THESE THINGS)
MAHIRAP NAMANG BUHATIN ITO NG 7 YEARS OLD…

THE TRUTH (Gal. 5:14) 
Posted by aw on June 11, 2015 at 6:43 am
CALCULATION HINIHINGI KO. ANG DAMI NINYO PO PINAG SASABI . TULAD PO NITO..
1. Sarah was 90 when Abraham was 100 (Genesis 17:17).
2. Abraham was 100 when Isaac was born (Genesis 21:5).
3. Sarah died at aged 127 (Genesis 23:1-2).
4. Isaac was 40 when he married Rebekah (Genesis 25:20).
5. Sarah was 90 when Isaac was born (conclusion from 1 and 2 above)
6. Isaac was 37 when his mother Sarah died (because 127-90=37)
Abraham informed of Rebekah’s birth (Genesis 22:20-23); and Sarah’s death aged 127
7. Since Isaac was 37 at his mother’s death, he was 37 when Rebekah was born.
8. Since Isaac was 40 when he married Rebekah, Rebekah would be 3 when the marriage took place (because 40-37=3)
== MALINAW NA 3 YEARS OLD 🙂
