[[Abraham]], originally named Abram, lived in Ur of the Chaldeans. Following God’s call, he left his homeland and settled in Canaan. God blessed Abraham that He would make him into a great nation.

However, Abraham was childless until his old age. At one point, Abraham considered making his servant Eliezer of [https://www.britannica.com/place/Damascus Damascus] his heir, but God said, “A son of your own body will be your heir.” Soon after, [[Hagar]], Sarah’s maidservant, bore him a son named [[Ishmael]]. However, God did not acknowledge him as Abraham’s heir, either. When Abraham was a hundred years old, [[Sarah (Abraham’s Wife)|Sarah]], who was ninety years old, gave birth to Isaac, and Isaac became the [[History of Abraham’s Family|heir of Abraham’s family]].

One day, God commanded Abraham to offer Isaac as a burnt offering. Without hesitation, Abraham took Isaac to Mount Moriah early the next morning. Just as Abraham was about to sacrifice Isaac, a voice from heaven stopped and told him not to touch Isaac. At that moment, Abraham saw a ram caught in a thicket, which he then offered as a substitute for Isaac.
