2Take your only son Isaac, the one that you love, and offer him to me as a burnt sacrifice.
Abraham prepares to kill Isaac for God
3Abraham saddled his donkey while his son Isaac gathered firewood. Then he piled the wood on Isaac's back, took fire and a knife, and went to the place where God had chosen.
7When they arrived, Isaac asked his father, "Where is the lamb for the burnt offering?"
9When they arrived at the place God selected for the sacrifice, Abraham built and altar, arranged the wood, tied Isaac down, and prepared to kill his son with his knife.
11Then he heard an angel calling out from heaven, saying,
I swear to myself that since you were willing to kill your only son for me, 17 I will make your offspring as numerous as the stars and the sand of the seashore. 18They will possess the land of their enemies, and all of the nations will be blessed in them.
To reward Abraham for his willingness to kill his son, Isaac, God promised to make Isaac's descendants as numerous as "the stars of heaven" -- which, of course, never happened. The Jews have always been, and will always be, a small minority.
