ABRAHAM, HIS SON, AND AN ANGEL.

 

(Painted by R.Thomas from the original by Paul Rubens 1577-1640).

 

ABRAHAM'S OBEDIENCE TO SACRIFICE HIS SON. (Genesis 22:10,11).

"But Jehovah's angel began calling to him out of the heavens and saying: "Abraham, Abraham!" To which he answered: "Here I am!" And He went on to say: "Do not put out your hand against the boy and do not do anything at all to him, for now I do know that you are God-fearing in that you have not withheld your son, your only one, from me."
