Pictorial Bible and Commentator

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Poor Abraham! Had God said, I will make thy dear son sick; had he even said, In a few hours Isaac shall die: this would not half so much have pained his heart. But to be told to take his son for a sacrifice, and to offer him himself - his only son Isaac - Isaac, whom he loved! Perhaps he wept very bitterly. Perhaps he prayed that Isaac might be Spared. But God's will must be done, and he said nothing against it.
