# Abraham Offers Isaac to God

Genesis 22:1–19

Meanwhile, God spoke to Abraham: “Take Isaac and go to Mount Moriah.” Abraham loved Isaac. “There,” God went on, “slay Isaac as a gift to me.”

Abraham obeyed. They traveled three days to the mountain. Abraham put Isaac on an altar. Isaac asked, “Where is the lamb for God’s gift?”

“God will give us a lamb,” Abraham answered. He raised the knife to slay his son. Then God’s angel stopped him: “I know you fear God. You’d slay your only son for him.” Abraham saw a ram for God’s gift stuck in a bush. So Isaac lived.

Questions: What did God ask Abraham to do? Was Abraham willing to do it?
