Abraham and Isaac by Rembrandt
One of the most challenging stories in the Bible, known as the Akeida, the binding of Isaac, is that of G-d testing Abraham, telling him to offer his beloved son. Abraham did not hesitate and rose early the next morning.
Genesis 22:6
Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and put it on his son Isaac. He himself took the firestone and the knife; and the two walked off together.
