Abraham and Isaac on Mount Moriah

God tests Abraham by commanding him to offer Isaac. Abraham travels with Isaac and two servants to the land of Moriah, prepares an altar, and binds Isaac. When Abraham reaches out to act, the angel of the LORD stops him. God provides a ram instead, and the LORD confirms promises concerning Abraham’s offspring, victory over enemies, and blessing to all nations of the earth.
