This creature shows up in Genesis 22:7: “Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, “My father?” He said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “Here is the fire and the wood, but where…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Genesis 22:7
“Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, “My father?” He said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?””
