וַיֹּ֡אמֶר קַח־נָ֠א אֶת־בִּנְךָ֨ אֶת־יְחִֽידְךָ֤ אֲשֶׁר־אָהַ֙בְתָּ֙ אֶת־יִצְחָ֔ק וְלֶךְ־לְךָ֔ אֶל־אֶ֖רֶץ הַמֹּרִיָּ֑ה וְהַעֲלֵ֤הוּ שָׁם֙ לְעֹלָ֔ה עַ֚ל אַחַ֣ד הֶֽהָרִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֖ר אֹמַ֥ר אֵלֶֽיךָ׃
Firman-Nya: “Ambillah kiranya anakmu, anakmu yang tunggal, yang engkau kasihi, yaitu Ishak, lalu pergilah ke tanah Moria, dan naikkanlah dia di sana sebagai kurban bakaran di atas salah satu gunung yang akan Kukatakan kepadamu.”
Jerusalem Talmud Taanit
HALAKHAH: 132Cf. Gen. rabba56(15), Lev. rabba29(8), Midrash Ps. 29[1]. But was not Isaac redeemed133Since Mt. Moriah is invoked, it was Isaac who was in danger, not Abraham.? Since Isaac was redeemed it is as if all of Israel was redeemed. Rebbi Bevai Abba134In G: The Elder R. Bevai. in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: Abraham said before the Holy One, praise to Him: Master of the worlds, it is open and known before You that when You said to me to sacrifice my son Isaac I could have answered and said before You, yesterday You said to me, for in Isaac will your descendants be named135Gen. 21:12., and now You are saying, sacrifice him as elevation offering136Gen. 22:2.. Heaven forbid that I should have done this, to the contrary I suppressed my inclination and did Your will. So may it be Your pleasure, Eternal, my God, that when my son Isaac’s descendants will be in trouble and nobody will speak in their defense137Greek συνηγορία., that You will speak in their defense. The Eternal will see138Gen. 22:14.. You will remember for them the binding of Isaac and be filled with mercy for them. What is written afterwards? Abraham lifted his eyes and saw a ram, after139Gen. 22:13., etc. What means “after”? Rebbi Judah ben Rebbi Simon140In G: R. Yudan bar Shalom said, the Holy One, praise to Him, said to Abraham: Abraham, after … said, after all generations in the future your sons will be gripped by sins and involved in troubles but at the end they will be redeemed by the horns of this ram, [as it is said]141In G: This what is written., and the Eternal, God, will blow the horn and go in Southern storms142Zach. 9:14..
