Page "Binding of Isaac" Paragraph 4

The Book of Genesis does not tell the age of Isaac at the time.

While it is often presented that Isaac was a small child, verse 6 of Chapter 22 indicates that Isaac was at least grown enough to walk alongside Abraham up the mountain carrying the load of wood that his father had gathered ().

The Talmudic sages teach that Isaac was thirty-seven, likely based on the next biblical story, which is of Sarah's death at 127, being 90 when Isaac was born.

Bishop Ussher's chronology places Isaac at about 20 years of age.
