Because it has so many possible synonyms, we must look to the context and compare it to other passages. As we read the account of the event, we note that God did not intend Abraham to complete the sacrifice of Isaac. However, Abraham did not know that and was willing to carry out God’s orders, knowing that if God did require this, He was able to raise Isaac up from the dead (Hebrews 11:17-19).
Dahil napakarami nitong kasing kahulugan, dapat nating tingnan ang konteksto at ikumpara ito sa ibang mga talata ng Bibliya. Kapag binasa natin ang salaysay sa Genesis 22, mapapansin natin na hindi intensyon ng Diyos na ituloy ni Abraham ang paghahandog kay Isaac. Gayunman, hindi ito alam ni Abraham at handa siyang sumunod sa utos ng Diyos, at alam niya na kung totoong ito ang gusto ng Diyos, kaya Niyang buhayin si Isaac mula sa mga patay (Hebreo 11:17-19).
