Elwell, W. A., Beitzel, B. J. (1988) supports about what we studied about Genesis 22 last week in Baker encyclopedia of the Bible."Name used twice in the OT. Abraham was sent to sacrifice his son Isaac in the land of Moriah (Gn 22:2). Because in the narrative it is said that the ram was provided in the place of Isaac (vv 8, 14) when God appeared to Abraham, it has been suggested that the form of the name Moriah may be connected with this. (The Hebrew verb ra’a can have meanings see, provide, appear, and the ending -iah is the shortened form of the name of the Lord which is found in many Hebrew names.)"Elwell, W. A., Beitzel, B. J.
