Abraham/ Isaac:- tear jerking story. An Ethiopian Monk/ Sage (40 years in prayers and communion with our Creator ) answered me the many “why this and why not that” we often ask about some biblical narratives. His answer was simple. He said, “nothing is about our fleshly impressions, thoughts, logic, perceptions etc! But instead, it’s about His Eternal love, Mercy, Majesty, Glory!” Here, we see that God gave remarkable Faith and strength of obedience to His servant Abraham because it’s what he choose and therefore we see ABRAHAM became empowered to do God’s will Blessings🙏 from Ethiopia

He had all he needed, so he goes home and the father is ecstatic his son saw sence. Thats life as we know it. Death is lovingly going home. We think selfishly so death is taking away, stealing our life. Its the opposite.

I know this is past tense, but for me at least it still colours the present; please could you help to untie the knots. Shalom

Saint Paulus taught that Aḅraham reasoned that God would raise Yiṣḥaq (Yitskhaq / Isaac) from the dead when Aḅraham was ascending the MOUNTAIN (or hill) to sacrifice his firstborn son (Heb. 11:18-19). Thus Yiṣḥaq could still have offspring like God said he would previously. He was given a great impression & found out that God doesn't want human sacrifices.

In India and Persia, the old priests would tie a thing around their waists...to bind them in tight. The word cunberband that we wear under tuxedos is from Hindi meaning close your waist. A common term used in Hindi to describe a religious person is "banda" or worshipper or more closely, binded one. I think even bind comes from banda. I know religion comes from religare which means to bind. Thanks Isaac. You have set a huge standard.

He was in a sense testing Hashems. Like a dare oh you want me to put my favorite blessing on Your Altar. This was a highest point of trust for Abraham to be in a powerpoint with the Creator. Do you know that place? Have you ever felt that much tension in your faith ? I wait for morsels of Holiness to drip under the mercy seat.

Thank you Rabbi for the great perspective. I am a little puzzled though on how is Avraham going against his nature / chesed by doing the aikeda? If the people of the generation did actually follow this practice of human sacrifice and believed they are doing good by liberating the soul from this world. It seems to follow that Avraham was still doing chesed to his son

On youtube, Israeli scholars of the Dead Sea Scrolls said there are writings on why God asked Abraham to sacrifice Isaac. An additional reason as per these writings is that God chose to show the heavens that the humans He created and the people of which God would place His allegiance were capable of highest loyalty, the highest faith, the highest trust that would be the honor of those in heaven and would glorify God with His human creation.

I do not know Hebrew but KJV it is translated as it "And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of" That the command. And then G-d says not to kill Isaac, That seems almost like contradiction.

She separated from human company to live alone, busy with the worship of God. Rashi on Judges 11:39:1 She became the subject of a law. Legislation was enacted prohibiting any repetition of this, for, had he approached Pinchos, or had Pinchos approached him, he would have released him from his vow.24 But they refused to humble themselves,25 and were, thus, both responsible for her ruin. They were punished. The Divine Presence departed from Pinchos, as it is said in Divrei Hayamim,26 "Adonoy was with him previously." We learn that he was not with him later. And Yiftoch was afflicted with ulcerations and the loss of his limbs, as it is said,27 "He was buried in the cities of Gilod."28 Another interpretation: "She became the subject of a law in Yisroel" relates to the following passage.

I think the requested sacrifice of Isaac from God has to do with Abimelech, the Philistines and Beer-Sheba. Abimelech bested Abraham in Genesis 21, and God seemed absent during that. In Genesis 26, the Philistines invoke HaShem by name when they bless Isaac. In the chapter afterwards, Isaac is then allowed or inspired to bless his favored son. Almost as if a part of HaShem is with the Philistines and had to give authority to bless to the patriarchs.

God tells Abraham to circumcise. This is an uncovering of our lower sensual side that is selfthought rather than connected thought with God. Abraham is in the doorway of his tent looking out. He stands looking outwatdly when he is inside himself with God. He becomes a messanger to his herd who listen and accept Gods teaching. He washes their feet, so he humbly worships and cleanses his people who become a foundation for Gods thought on Earth elevating thier awareness. The opposite is shown in Sodom where self thought takes place building a city out of falsity. God tells Abraham to take his son to a mountain (love symbolism) and asks him to give back what has been given to him. To return all his hard work to God. God is reinforcing the fact that we are from God and everything we have is Gods. We own nothing, not even our thoughts. In love, God creates us and everything around us. We think we can own whats around us but in reality we borrow Gods energy. Owning bits of God is theft and is a very arrogant thought. So Sodoms building bricks of false thought were cleansed by truth but Abraham would give lovingly to God as God gave to him. God is als reminding Abraham that he is not God and cannot do what God does but he says I give to myself ie us, you do the same. He can only try to help and God is thankful and says stop. I will not take the love I gave you and you adhors, away. Its like a child trying to repair his fathers car. The effort is seen as endearing love but only the father has the knowledge and strength to repair the car.

I am a Christian considering conversion to Judaism , mostly because of your teachings. Quite honestly I have always been bothered by this story as well as Jephthah's Daughter. I can't understand how an omniscient benevolent God would put father and son in such a position. I will read all the comments below and study more. Thanks

10:29 Values of Abraham in times of sacrifice of Isaac ware the same what ware other people. Therefore for Abraham and Isaac the process of sacrifice of Isaac by Abraham wasn't dramatic.

Holy men see God from different angels or perspectives. No man can understand Gods completeness so is given a glimpse or rather a symbolic generalization that can be understood by the beholder. What one sees will be enterpreted differently by another due to intellect and experience which is used to interpret messages and remember them. Direct inspiration has to be decoded into words.

Society was very different long time ago. Who came to Abraham, one told him to sacrifise son, others stop him and gave him lamb? They were not from this planet

I like how you're not telling me to just suffer silently about all the injustice out there. Not to become insensitive and callous about it. I like the "obligated to complain" when in Protestant culture we're raised to never complain and it's stifling and terrible. Helps nothing.

Isaac did know because he tells Abraham to bind him in a way that he could not break loose so that he will be an acceptable sacrifice. Abraham's servant and Ishmael made a joke about sacrificing if Isaac over his inheritance. In the story. The servant is struck with lepersy.
