If a human sacrifice was never God’s intent, no one can claim this story shows God approves of such actions (especially given the prohibitions elsewhere). Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about." But the passage itself as well as other places in Genesis point out that Abraham did love Isaac: Both Isaac and Yeshua sacrificed their lives in obedience to their fathers' will. I think afterwards it built Isaac’s faith just as it did with Abraham. Some time later God tested Abraham.
If you remember the Old Testament account, you will be somewhat perplexed. In Isaac, all the promises of God to Abraham find their focus -- blessing and descendents and the land. There are several Midrashim (rabbinic exegetical narratives) that give Sarah voice. According to the narrative, he died aged 180, the longest-lived of the three patriarchs. Isaac's name means "he will laugh", reflecting the laughter, in disbelief, of Abraham and Sarah, when told by God that they would have a child. Whatever it was, the great test was not that The Binding of Isaac (Hebrew: עֲקֵידַת יִצְחַק) Aqedat Yitzhaq, in Hebrew also simply "The Binding", הָעֲקֵידָה Ha-Aqedah, -Aqeidah) is a story from the Hebrew Bible found in Genesis 22. Obviously, God knew when He made the initial request that He would eventually provide a ram and would not allow Abraham to actually kill Isaac. The story of Abraham sacrificing Isaac is one of the deepest secrets in the world. Second, Isaac was not being sacrificed against his will, as will be described in the next section. In Genesis 22 we find the story of Isaac being sacrificed. I get the dynamic between God and Abraham on this, but why wouldn’t God at least have done it when Isaac was a baby and couldn’t remember it? One apparent textbook example of this is the famous Bible story in which God orders Abraham to sacrifice his beloved son Isaac in Genesis 22. He is the only patriarch whose name was not changed, and the only one who did not move out of Canaan.
The whole idea of God asking Abraham to kill his most beloved son conjures up all kinds of monstrous thoughts about a being that is supposed to be the very essence of love. That is, both willingly gave up their lives. This implies that Isaac is at least old enough to know what the proper sacrificial process is and perceptive enough to ask his father about it. In the biblical narrative, God tells Abraham to sacrifice his son, Isaac, on Moriah.Abraham begins to comply, when a messenger from God interrupts him. Answer: Abraham had obeyed God many times in his walk with Him, but no test could have been more severe than the one in Genesis 22. This doesn’t tell us too much about his age, though, since it’s possible that even a … what it is all about, then he definitely doesn’t know. The Islamic holiday, Qurbani Id (or Id Al-Adha), is known as the “Sacrifice Festival.”Muslims celebrate this “great feast of sacrifice” on the tenth day of the last month of the Muslim year. A lot of people give great lectures on it.
Imagine being Isaac’s father, Abraham, hearing God’s inconceivable command to sacrifice his miracle child. Then God said, "Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah.
Indeed, Isaac seems to fade after the sacrifice, with his life story told in just one chapter, compared to more than a dozen chapters for both Abraham and Jacob.
