When Isaac was still a boy, God again
tested Abraham's faith: "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you
love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on
the mountain that I shall show you." Once again, Abraham obeyed
God. Giving Isaac the kindling to carry, he took him to the mountain that God showed him. He built an altar, laid the kindling on it, then
placed Isaac on top. When God saw that Abraham would obey even this,
God sent an angel to stop him. "Do not lay your hand on the
boy," the angel said. Abraham looked up and saw a ram caught in a
thicket, and he offered it instead as a burnt offering to God.
