Chapter 114 The sacrifice is a son

There are no four seasons in the Nile Delta. In this year, there are only two distinct seasons: dry season and rainy season. Welcome to read

At this time, the rainy season is coming, and there is abundant rainfall on the earth. There are green fields and farms everywhere, as well as rivers with abundant water.

Isaac is a strong boy. In this beautiful season, he always plays in the river with his friends, or catches some fish and shrimps.

It had just rained this morning, the sky was blue, and the breeze was caressing the water. Isaac and his friends were playing in the river as usual, unaware that there was a man with a sad face on the river bank.

Abram sat on the embankment and looked at his son, with unspeakable pain in his heart. The craftsmen behind him picked up their tools and went to the northwest mountain to cast an altar.

At this time, Abram understood that when the altar was cast, it might be the time for his only son to die.

After he was silent for a moment, Isaac called over.

The son did not see the sadness written on his father's face. He stared at Abram with his big eyes and asked: "Father, what did you call me for?"

Abram took his son's hand and said, "Come home with me."

Isaac asked with some confusion: "What happened? Father, I want to play for a while longer."

Abram firmly held his son's hand and said, "Go home, and I will ask your mother to cook the most delicious food for you."

Upon hearing this, Isaac no longer had the urge to return to the river, and happily followed his father back home.

When he returned home, Abram told the cook to cook quickly and asked the servants to give Isaac bathing clothes. Isaac felt a little baffled by his father's behavior.

After taking a shower, Isaac changed his clothes and went to the restaurant early to wait for the delicious food his father mentioned.

The fact is, Isaac was not disappointed. The table was filled with all kinds of delicious food. Good marinated pork mixed with fresh vegetables and sauces. High-quality white bread with pure olive oil, and a whole

Only the lamb leg was roasted. After watching it, my appetite was whetted.

Abram said, "Eat, my son; these are yours?"

"Really?" Isaac couldn't believe what his father said, because his father had never said such a thing every time he ate.

Abram said, "It is true, eat it."

"Where's mother?" Isaac couldn't hold it in anymore, but he still asked.

Abram said, "I asked her to go see your grandfather and she won't come back until tomorrow."

"Then I'll eat it!" Isaac finally couldn't control himself and started to feast.

Abram, who was sitting across the table, kept drinking wine to numb his nerves and prevent them from continuing to twitch.

After Isaac had had enough wine and food, Abram said, "Son, it's getting late. Go to bed. I'll take you out tomorrow."

"Where to go?" Isaac asked.

"Don't ask! You'll know when you get there." Abram changed his tone of command.

Isaac seemed a little frustrated. He did not dare to go against his father's wishes, so he had to go back to his bedroom obediently.

That night, Abram stayed up all night. He sat on the stone bench at the door in a daze until dawn.

Early the next morning, Abram woke Isaac up.

Isaac found that his father had finished packing, and the cloth bag on his back was filled with kerosene for ignition. He asked his father: "Where are we going?"

Abram said, "I will take you to sacrifice to God."

After Isaac finished washing, he followed his father and walked towards the mountains in the northwest.

Before dawn, the men who built the altar returned and told Abram that the altar had been repaired and could be used at any time.

The father and son walked along with the morning breeze, thinking about the mountain. The mountain was called Mount Moriah by the Hebrews.

A makeshift altar.

When the son saw his father's hands were empty, he asked, "Father, how can we offer sacrifices if we don't have any offerings?"

Abram took a deep breath and said, "God will prepare the offerings himself, and we only need to carry out the steps of the sacrifice. You'd better not ask any more questions, just follow me."

When the two men walked under the altar, which was already piled with firewood for burning, Abram knelt under the altar and worshiped the sky, mumbling something.

Although Isaac didn't know what his father was praying for, he didn't dare to mess around at such a sacred moment, so he had to kneel beside Abram in silence.

At this time, Abram suddenly asked his son: "Son, if one day God needs you and calls you, will you be willing to go see Him?"

Isaac shook his head and said, "I have never seen God. I don't know if I will go."

Abram asked again: "As one of God's people, are you willing to dedicate everything to God?"

"What about you? Father, are you willing to dedicate everything to God?" Isaac asked Abram innocently.

Abram looked up at the sky and sighed: "I thought I could do it, but..."

"But what? Father?"

Abram stood up and said, "I thought about it for a long time, and I found that I still cannot serve God wholeheartedly. This is my sin."

"What sin have you committed?" Isaac asked.

Abram said: "The things God asked me to do are very difficult for me to do."

"What kind of thing is that?"

Abram stared at his son for a long time, and finally bit his lip and said: "Son, please don't blame me! I can't refuse what God asks me to do!"

After saying this, he suddenly took out the rope from his body and tied up Isaac.

Isaac was shocked and asked quickly: "Father, what are you going to do?"

Abram took his son and walked up to the altar and said, "I am going to take you as a burnt offering offering."

Isaac yelled, "Father, why do you do this?"

Abram also cried out in grief and anger: "This is God's will, and I cannot violate it."

Isaac was so frightened that he burst into tears. From his father's determined eyes, he felt that Abram was definitely not joking, but really wanted to sacrifice himself. He looked extremely frightened. Facing the approach of death, he continued

Fainted.

Abram's tears also flowed out, and he choked with sobs, but he still held back his grief and lit the firewood and poured kerosene on it to make it burn brighter.

The son was placed in front of the fire like a sacrifice. According to the steps of the sacrifice, the living body must be disembowelled first, the internal organs should be taken out and put into the fire, then the blood of the sacrifice should be sprinkled around the altar, and finally the body should be put on the fire.

Cut the meat into pieces and throw them into the fire one by one to worship the true God.

The sacrifice at this time was his own son.

Abram had already taken out the dagger from his waist, held his son's neck firmly with his left hand, and raised the sharp knife with his right hand. Seeing the fear radiating from the child's face, his heart trembled again.

However, God did not dare to violate God’s will. The sacrifice had already begun and could not be stopped. At this moment, Abram held back the tears that were about to fall and dropped his raised right hand suddenly. To be continued.)
