So after these deliveries, G-d tested Abraham... [Genesis 22:1] “Take your child, your only, the one you love... and get yourself going to the land of Moriah, and elevate him as an elevation [sacrifice]”... [Genesis 22:2] And Abraham awoke... and arose, and advanced to the place G-d indicated to him. [Genesis 22:3] … And Abraham took the kindling for the elevation [sacrifice] and placed them on Isaac his son, and he took the fire and the tinder and the two of them advanced together. [Genesis 22:6] … “The sacrificial lamb will be beheld by G-d - my son... [Genesis 22:8] And Abraham reached out his arm and took the tinder in order to slaughter his son. But a messenger of HASHEM called out to him from the heavens, and said, “Abraham, Abraham,” and he said, “Look here.” … “Don’t do a thing to him”... [Genesis 22:10-12]
