Did Isaac try to get away from Abraham at Mt. Moriah?

Why did Abraham try to sacrifice his son Isaac?

-----------------------Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) quotes from a lecture-room discussion on this very issue. A student remarked that if you say that Abraham, when he goes up Mount Moriah, neither hopes nor believes in the slightest that Isaac will somehow be saved or restored at the end of it all, then you must also say that Abraham is here offering Isaac to a God whom Abraham believes to be a liar. For did not God promise that "it is through Isaac that offspring shall be called for you (21:12)? For the story to make sense we either must accept the modern Islamic view that the story was originally about Ishmael, or believe that Abraham knew that Isaac would not really die.

Why was Abimelech interested in Isaac's wife?

AnswerThis is called a doublet. Just as Abraham tried to pass Sarah off as his sister while visiting the palace of Abimelech king of Gerar, so did Isaac, his son, try to pass his wife Rebekah off as his sister to the same king, once again for fear that the king would kill him in order to have sex with her (Genesis 26:6-11). It should be questioned why Abraham and Isaac believed that Egyptians and Gerarites would only attempt to have sex with a woman after killing her husband, and why they would not kill her 'brother' in order to achieve the same ends.

Did Isaac exist?

A:It is accepted among scholars that Isaac and the other two Patriarchs were not real, historical people, and the stories written about them in Genesis are not historically true. For example, just as Abraham tried to pass Sarah off as his sister while visiting the palace of Abimelech king of Gerar, so did Isaac, his son, try to pass his wife Rebekah off as his sister to the same king, once again for fear that the king would kill him in order to have sex with her (Genesis 26:6-11). This implausible repetition militates against the existence of Isaac. The story in the Bible says that Isaac was born to Abraham and Sarah when Abraham was 100 years old and Sarah was 90. The story recognises that these were improbable ages, saying that Abraham laughed when God told him that he would have a son at such a great age. They are also nice, round numbers because the tradents who passed these stories down orally into the first millennium BCE generally used numbers that were easy to remember. The name Isaac, meaning 'He laughs' and a reference to Abraham laughing when told that Isaac would be born, was more likely another prompt so that the tradents could easily associate the correct names with the storylines. If there had been an Isaac, his name was changed to suit the story-tellers.Even Isaac's age when he died is a giveaway, as are the ages of Abraham and Jacob. Not just because they were so impossibly great, but because they point to the secret use of numerology based on the number 17:Abraham lived to 175 (5 X 5 X 7)Isaac lived to 180 (6 X 6 X 5)Jacob lived to 147 (7 X 7 X 3Each lifespan involves a perfect square (5, 6, then 7 in a numeric series),the third factor also forms a series (7, 5, 3)in each case the sum of the factors is 17.Finally, if the Patriarchs lived, then the Israelites should have sojourned in Egypt just as the Bible says, but there is no evidence of this in the Egyptian records. If Moses did not live then it is also likely that Isaac did not live. For Moses to have lived, there would have to have been an Exodus from slavery in Egypt and a military conquest of the land of the Canaanites. Not only do almost all scholars say there was no biblical Exodus from Egypt and that there was no unified conquest of the Canaanites, they say that the Hebrew people were really Canaanites who left the region of the rich coastal cities to settle in the hitherto sparsely populated hinterland. There was no biblical Moses and there was no Hebrew Patriarch called Isaac.Answer:According to God, yes:Matthew 22:32New King James Version (NKJV) 32 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living."

In which book of the Bible is Isaac found?

A:Facts about Isaac are not to be found in the Bible, because it is accepted among scholars that the Patriarchs were not real, historical people. There are still facts to be discovered by looking analytically at the biblical accounts. The story in the Bible says that Isaac was born to Abraham and Sarah when Abraham was 100 years old and Sarah was 90. The story recognises that these were improbable ages, saying that Abraham laughed when God told him that he would have a son at such a great age. They are also nice, round numbers because the tradents who passed these stories down orally into the first millennium BCE generally used numbers that were easy to remember.The name Isaac means 'He laughs', again a reference to Abraham laughing when told that Isaac would be born, and again a prompt so that the tradents could easily associate the correct names with the storylines.When Isaac was a little older, God told his father, Abraham, to sacrifice him on an altar. Fortunately, Abraham's hand was stayed in time, and Abraham sacrificed a sheep instead.Just as Abraham tried to pass Sarah off as his sister while visiting the palace of Abimelech king of Gerar, so did Isaac, his son, try to pass his wife Rebekah off as his sister to the same king, once again for fear that the king would kill him in order to have sex with her (Genesis 26:6-11). This is clearly a case where a tradition about one of the Patriarchs accidentally became part of the tradition of the second and then was passed on in both.Isaac had twin sons, Jacob and Esau, who were bitter rivals even before their birth. Genesis says that Jacob held on to Esau's heel in an attempt to prevent him being born first, something that would have required intelligence, awareness of the outside world and manual dexterity far beyond the capabilities of ordinary mortals. There is quite plausible evidence in the Book of Genesis that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were incarnations of the moon god in early belief, before the story evolved over the centuries into one in which they were mortal heroes, with Esau originally an incarnation of the sun god.The Bible also tells us that Isaac lived to 180 years old. Most of the lifespans in the Genesis genealogies involve formulas around the number 17, as in the case of all three Patriarchs, where we find:Abraham lived to 175 (5 X 5 X 7)Isaac lived to 180 (6 X 6 X 5)Jacob lived to 147 (7 X 7 X 3)Each lifespan involves a perfect square (5, 6, then 7 in a numeric series),the third factor also forms a series (7, 5, 3)in each case the sum of the factors is 17.Another Answer:The full story of Isaac begins in Genesis 17 and is continued to chapter 49. Many other books mention him. Jesus Himself, when answering a 'trick' question put to him said:Matthew 22:31-33 (New King James Version - NKJV)31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, saying, 32 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?[a] God is not the God of the dead, but of the living." 33 And when the multitudes heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.Footnotes:Matthew 22:32 Exodus 3:6, 15
