Retelling of key biblical episodes from Genesis, focusing on God’s promise to Abraham and Sarah’s fulfillment—Sarah conceives in old age and bears Isaac, Abraham circumcises him on the eighth day, and Isaac becomes central as God tests Abraham. The narrative includes God’s command to take Isaac to the land of Moriah to offer him as a sacrifice, Abraham’s preparations at dawn, the journey with servants, and the moment Isaac is entrusted with carrying the wood for worship.

She became pregnant in her old age and bore a son to Abraham who was 100 years old. Abraham named his son Isaac. When Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, just as God had commanded. Sometime later, when Isaac was older, God tested Abraham. God said,“Take your only son, Isaac, whom you love so much, and go to the land of Moriah. There on a mountain that I will show you, offer him as a sacrifice to me.” Early the next morning Abraham got up, saddled his donkey, and cut wood for the sacrifice. He took two of his servants and his son Isaac with him and set out for the place God had told him. On the third day, Abraham saw the place in the distance. Then he said to the servants,“Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go over there and worship, and then we will come back to you.” Abraham made Isaac carry the wood for the sacrifice, and he himself carried a knife and the fire.
