At God's command as the last of ten trials to test his faith, Abraham was to build a sacrificial altar and sacrifice his son Isaac upon it. After he had bound his son to the altar and drawn his knife to kill him, at the last moment an [[angel]] of God prevented Abraham from proceeding. Instead, he was directed to sacrifice a nearby ram that was stuck in thickets.<ref>{{bibleverse|Genesis|22:13|HE}}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
