Isaac in Genesis 22
EYE-zik
This person shows up in Genesis 22:2: “He said, “Now take your son, your only son, whom you love, even Isaac, and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real person in a real place.
Genesis 22:2
“He said, “Now take your son, your only son, whom you love, even Isaac, and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of.””
