He binds his son Isaac and lays him upon the wood on the altar he has built, but when raising his knife, the angel calls upon him not to slay his son. He has been promised that he will “multiply exceedingly,” and become a father of many nations. Abraham does not question his God, with whom he has sealed a covenant. God tells Abraham to go to the land of Moriah (possibly meaning the land of the Amorites, the land of worship, or the teaching-place of God) and offer his beloved son Isaac for a burnt offering. It thus lends itself to innumerable theological explanations, philosophical readings and psychological interpretations. In its extreme brevity, the narrative is an archetypal skeleton, not fleshed out by personal details or human feelings. The sacrifice of Isaac, in Hebrew the akedah, i.e., the binding of Isaac, is one of the Bible’s most dramatic stories.
