1. Genesis 6:9

   This is the account of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation; Noah walked with God.

   ›Commentary on Genesis 6:91 voice

   “(Verse 9) Noah was a righteous and blameless man in his generation, pleasing to God. Specifically, it says 'in his generation' to show that his righteousness was not according to the perfected righteousness, but according to the righteousness of his generation. And this is what is said in Hebrew: Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generations, he walked with God; that is, he followed in his footsteps.

4. Genesis 12:1–4

   Then the LORD said to Abram, “Leave your country, your kindred, and your father’s household, and go to the land I will show you.

   ›Commentary on Genesis 12:1–41 voice

   “Abraham represents the mind. In fact Abraham signifies passage. Therefore, in order that the mind, which in Adam had allowed itself to run to pleasure and to bodily attractions, should turn toward the ideal form of virtue, a wise man has been proposed to us as an example to imitate. Actually Abraham in Hebrew signifies "father," in the sense that the mind, with the authority, the judgment and the solicitude of a father, governs the entire person. This mind then was in Haran, that is, in caverns, subject to the different passions.

8. Genesis 21:4

   When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God had commanded him.

   ›Commentary on Genesis 21:41 voice

   “Let us ask the Lord lest, in accordance with the apostle's word, even with us, "when Moses is read the veil be upon" our "heart." For it has been read that Abraham begot a son, Isaac, when he was a hundred years old. "And Sarah said, 'Who will announce to Abraham that Sarah nurses a child?' " "And then," the text says, "Abraham circumcised the child on the eighth day." Abraham does not celebrate his son's birthday, but he celebrates the day of this weaning "and makes a great feast."6Why?

   ›Commentary on Genesis 22:121 voice

   “He showed the ram in the thicket in the stead of the lad, that He might restore the son to his father, and yet the victim not fail the priest. And so Abraham was not stained with his son's blood, nor was God deprived of the sacrifice. The prophet spoke, and neither yielded to boastfulness nor continued obstinate, but took the ram in exchange for the lad. And by this is shown the more how piously he offered him whom he now so gladly received back.
