Genesis 17:22
βAnd he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.β
KJV
Read in Genesis 17Meaning
God finishes speaking with Abraham, and the divine encounter ends before the narrative turns to Abraham's response.
Read carefully
The spatial language of God going up is narrative and theological language; it need not be treated as a technical description of divine location.
Reflection
The close of the speech leaves Abraham with concrete instructions, and the next scene tests response rather than adding further explanation.
