Moriah was itself a mountain upon which Solomon afterwards built the temple; and the land, or region, around, is celebrated by the mounts, afterwards called Zion, Olivet, and Calvary. The mountain chosen of God is not named; I can only therefore express my opinion that it was Calvary.
Abraham fully intended to slay Isaac; but he firmly believed that God would raise him from the dead again; because all the promises God had made him were to be accomplished in Isaac’s Seed; as it is written, “My covenant will I establish with Isaac and his seed after him”: therefore, said Abraham to the young men, “we will come again to you”.
