In Hebrews 11:17, both the NASB and NKJ use begotten son to describe Isaac. Other versions plus Kistermaker use one and only son. Why the use of begotten in the NASB and NKJ? What precisely, is the definition of begotten? I thought it had to do with not being created. Does that meaning only apply to Jesus Christ when using the term begotten?

In Genesis 22, the account of offering Isaac, is the angel of the Lord in verse 11 God Himself. The reason why asking is that in verses 1-2, God speaks directly to Abraham. Then, in verse 11 it says the angel of the Lord. I would think they are not the same, but why the angel is verse 11, and why God in verses 1-2?
