What did God tell Abraham to do to Isaac and why did he have to do this?
As you may already know, Abraham and his wife Sarah, were both really old when they had Isaac. As a test, God told Abraham to sacrifice his son. If he had enough faith in God, he wouldn't have to worry about what happened to his son. Abraham took his son up to the altar and Isaac asked what they were offering. Abraham said, "The LORD will provide the offering." Abraham tied his son to the altar and prepared to kill him when an angel of the LORD appeared to him. He told Abraham to let his son go, he had showed his faith in God. Abraham had passed the test.

Genesis 22:1-2 (King James Version) "And it came to pass after these things, that God did attempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
