Abraham did not know that he was about to demonstrate what God himself would do in giving his Son as a ransom; yet, he obeyed and was at the point of offering up Isaac as a sacrifice when Jehovah’s angel stopped him.
Lai arī Ābrahāms nezināja, ka viņš ar savu rīcību attēlos to, ko vēlāk darīja Dievs, upurēdams savu Dēlu, viņš paklausīja Jehovas pavēlei un jau grasījās upurēt Īzāku, bet Jehovas eņģelis viņam neļāva to izdarīt. ( 1. Mozus 22: 9 — 14.)
