Why was Avraham adamant that Yitzchak not go there?

1.

Malbim: 'HaSh-m took me and my seed from there' (like the next verse says). If Yitzchak returns there, it is as if I return there.

2.

Ha'amek Davar: Yitzchak was considered like a Korban Olah (due to the Akeidah), so he could not go to Chutz la'Aretz. 1
