What Is The Meaning Of The Word "Stead" In The Scripture Context Of KJV Genesis 22:13?
KJV Genesis 22:13, And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
I would say "stead" means "place" in the flow of this Scripture verse context.

The Real "Children Of Abraham"
I was reading and writing through (KJV) Galatians and the Lord in the Spirit gave me these insightful connections from these two Scripture passages.
1. KJV John 8:33-45.
2. KJV Galatians 3:5-14.
_____________________________________________________________________________
1. KJV John 8:33-45,
2. KJV Galatians 3:5-14,
5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
14 That the blessings of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Therefore, although the real natural "children of Abraham" are the actual children of Abraham in the flesh, the real "spiritual" children of Abraham are those born again believers in Christ who live by FAITH and do "the works of Abraham" as Christ saith. Amen.
1. KJV John 8:33-45.
2. KJV Galatians 3:5-14.

1. KJV John 8:33-45,
33 ¶ They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts os your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
2. KJV Galatians 3:5-14,
5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
14 That the blessings of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Therefore, although the real natural "children of Abraham" are the actual children of Abraham in the flesh, the real "spiritual" children of Abraham are those born again believers in Christ who live by FAITH and do "the works of Abraham" as Christ saith. Amen.
A Litany Of Biblical Musical Instruments
1. KJV Daniel 3:7, Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of musick, all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
2. KJV Daniel 3:15, Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?

What Is "Naked?"
After reading KJV Genesis 3:6-13, the Scripture saith in KJV Genesis 3:7 that Adam and Eve's "eyes were opened, and they knew that they were naked"...
My question from reading this is: "What is 'naked'?"
Before Adam and Eve sewed some fig leaves together to make themselves aprons to wear on their bodies, being "naked" in their uncovered, fleshly, physical bodies was part of their normal living. Their normal way of life.
But after Adam and Eve have eaten from the Forbidden Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil (KJV Genesis 3:6) God told them NOT to eat of; they must have received the "knowledge of nakedness" or a "conscious" after eating the fruit of the forbidden tree of the knowledge of good and evil...
KJV Genesis 3:6-7,
6 ¶ And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
Another question even comes to my mind: Why did God place this tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the Garden of Eden in the first place?
I think it's because God was testing the obedience of Adam and Eve to see if they would obey or disobey Him, even though God knows beforehand that they will.
God in effect gives man an "option" of freewill to choose to obey or disobey Him.
When man in effect chooses to disobey God in the form of Adam and Eve eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, God asks Adam "Who told thee that thou was naked?" and "Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?" (It's interesting that they "hid themselves" as well; they must have had the "knowledge of guilt" as a result of doing something they should not have... Why else "hide"?)
KJV Genesis 3:8-11,
8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.
9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
Adam does not simply come over and directly say "Yes, I did eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil that You told me not to eat of"; but instead Adam first shifts the blame to Eve when he replies to without taking into account his own personal action by saying "The woman thou gavest me..."; to go as far as saying "God, this woman you gave me made me 'mess up' and eat the fruit".
KJV Genesis 3:12, And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
Then when God asks the woman (e.g. "Eve") "What is this that thou hast done?" and the woman "Eve" replies by blaming the "serpent" (who turns out to be the Devil, Satan) instead of taking personal responsibility for her transgression against God by simply saying, "Yes, I did eat..."
KJV Genesis 3:13, And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
And for the finish...
KJV Genesis 3:14-24,
14 ¶ And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15 ¶ And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
16 ¶ Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
22 ¶ And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and live for ever:
23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

Before Adam and Eve sewed some fig leaves together to make themselves aprons to wear on their bodies, being "naked" in their uncovered, fleshly, physical bodies was part of their normal living. Their normal way of life.
