※Where did Isaac disappear to?亞伯拉罕獻以撒後,以撒去哪裡了?
This question has triggered numerous discourses and speculations – where did Isaac go after the sacrifice? The Scriptures inform us only about Abrahams return. But Isaac vanishes and does not reappear until Genesis 24, right before his meeting with Rebekah.
這個問題引發了無數的論述和推測…以撒在「獻祭」之後去了哪裡?聖經只告訴我們亞伯拉罕回家,但是聖經在以撒與利百加會面之前就未記載以撒,直到創世記24章才重新出現。

創22:19於是亞伯拉罕回到他僕人那裡,他們一同起身往別是巴去,亞伯拉罕就住在別是巴。

**Gen. 24:62 says that Isaac came from the way of Beer Lahai Roi. If you don’t know Hebrew, this name means nothing.
62那時,以撒住在南地,剛從庇耳•拉海•萊回來。
這”Beer Lahai Roi”地名,在希伯來文有其意義的。

Genesis 16:13 And she called the name of the Lord that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me? 14 Wherefore the well was called Beer–lahai–roi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
13夏甲就稱那對他說話的耶和華為「看顧人的神」。因而說:「在這裡我也看見那看顧我的嗎?」14所以這井名叫庇耳拉海萊。這井正在加低斯和巴列中間。
庇耳:井。拉海萊:永生上帝眷顧我。

**In Hebrew, however, it has a profound meaning: The Well of “the One Who Sees Me Lives”! While Isaac had vanished from the scene, he never vanished from God’s sight. Though his parents could not see him (and were probably worried), and though he was not visible to us, God still saw him and knew everything about him – just as He sees you and me: The One Who Sees Me Lives.
然而,在希伯來文中,它有一個很深的含義:「看顧我生活的上帝的井」!雖然以撒暫從聖經消失,但神與他同在。雖然他的父母看不見他 (可能也很擔心),雖然我們沒看到他,但上帝仍然陪著他,知道他一切的景況…就像祂看顧你、我一樣:那位保守看顧我的上帝。
