“And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.”
The child grows and is weaned, and Abraham holds a great feast on the day Isaac is weaned. In the ancient Near East, weaning typically happened around age two or three. The feast celebrates covenant continuity: the child who carries the promise has survived and thrived. Revelation 19:9 describes the wedding supper of the Lamb as the culmination of all such celebrations. The application: marking covenant milestones with celebration is theological faithfulness. The feast says what God promised has been received and is worth celebrating.
