36a	Gen. 22: 2 (2-12). 2 And he said, ^aTake now thy son, thine ^bonly son Isaac, whom thou ^clovest, and get thee into the land of ^dMoriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
b	Ex. 20: 13. 13 Thou shalt not ^akill.
c	Gen. 15: 6. 6 ^aAnd he ^bbelieved in the Lord; and he counted it to him for ^crighteousness. Jacob 4: 5. 5 Behold, they believed in Christ and ^aworshiped the Father in his name, and also we worship the Father in his ^bname. And for this intent we ^ckeep the ^dlaw of Moses, it ^epointing our souls to him; and for this cause it is sanctified unto us for righteousness, even as it was accounted unto Abraham in the wilderness to be obedient unto the commands of God in offering up his son Isaac, which is a ^fsimilitude of God and his ^gOnly Begotten Son. TG Righteousness.
