Gen 22:2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only [son] Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.

Gen 22:7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here [am] I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where [is] the lamb for a burnt offering?

Gen 22:8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.

Gen 22:9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.

Gen 22:10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.

Gen 22:11 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here [am] I.

Gen 22:12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only [son] from me.

Story of Isaac

The door it openned slowly,
My father he came in,
I was nine years old;
And he stood so tall above me,
Blue eyes they were shining,
And his voice was very cold;
Said, 'I've had a vision
And you know I'm strong and holy,
I must do what I've been told.'
So he started up the moutain,
I was running he was walking
And his axe was made of gold.

[...]

You who built the altars now
To sacrifice these children,
Who must not do iy any more.
A scheme is not a vision
And you never have been tempted
By a demon or a god
