2659. Verse 11 And the matter was deeply distressing to Abraham 1 because of his son.

'The matter was deeply distressing to Abraham' means the Lord's state at first when He thought about that rational being separated from Himself. 'Because of his son' means for the reason that He delighted in it.

1. literally, exceedingly evil in Abraham's eyes
