And they came to the place that God had told him of, and Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood and bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, on the wood.
“And...and...and.” The word “and” occurs five times in this sentence, running forward from one point to the next. It is as if the text is telling us that Abraham hurried through this action, which was no doubt difficult for him, even though he believed that God would raise Isaac from the dead after he sacrificed him (Heb. 11:19).
