Abraham’s godly fear was put to the test when God asked him to offer as a sacrifice his only son, Isaac, through whom God would fulfill his promise that Abraham’s offspring would become a great nation.
( Jesajas 41: 8, NW.) Ābrahāma bijība tika pārbaudīta, kad Dievs viņam lika upurēt vienīgo dēlu Īzāku, kura pēcnācējos bija jāpiepildās Dieva solījumam, ka no Ābrahāma celsies liela tauta. ( 1. Mozus 12: 2, 3; 17: 19.)
