Who was asked to sacrifice his son in the bible?
God did not ask anyone to kill His Son, but He asked His Son to die for the sin of the world. Jesus (God's Son) said, "The reason my Father [God] loves me is that I lay down my life-only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father" (John 10:17-18). So even though God used humans to kill Jesus, God Himself was the One Who sacrificed His only Son (and then rose him from the dead) because He loved the world. John 3:16 says "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." God loves you and that He has a wonderful plan for your life. God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac. Abraham bound Isaac and was going to kill him, but an angel intervened and Isaac was not killed. God did this so Abraham could better understand how much love God has by giving his only begotten son to be cruelly killed to save mankind.
What animal did god ask Abraham to sacrifice?

Why was God mad at Abraham and Isaac?
If you mean why did God ask Abraham to sacrifice Isaac then the answer is that He was not angry with either of them. We don't know specifically from the Bible text why God asks Abraham to sacrifice his son but we do know that Abraham does not even question the request. If we read carefully however we see that Abraham likely trusted that God would save Isaac somehow and his faith was rewarded when God provides an animal for the sacrifice instead. Some scholars believe that Abraham was asked to sacrifice Isaac as a test of his faith but others believe that the entire incident was a powerfully moving demonstration of God's desire that human sacrifice not be performed to honour Him. Many of the surrounding nations practiced child sacrifice and here God makes very clear the fact that that is not what He desires from his people.

How does the command to sacrifice Isaac relate to Jesus?
A:The idea of prefigurement is that something that occurs in the Old Testament represents something that will happen in the New Testament. Thus, Christians transformed the attempted sacrifice of Isaac into the centrepiece of an iconic link with Jesus. Jessica Harani, a professor of religion at Tel Aviv University, put it this way, "Abraham loved God so much that he was willing to sacrifice his son. God loved humanity so much that he will sacrifice his son." And Hebrews 11:17, talking of Abraham, "... and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son." This last reference is not quite true, since Hebrews makes it clear that the son is Abraham's second son, Isaac, but the verse connects to the story of Jesus. Tertullian even said that the reason Isaac carried the wood for his sacrifice was a mystery kept secret until Christ was asked to carry the wooden cross to his sacrifice. Again, it is only in John's Gospel that Jesus carried the cross to the crucifixion site, because Simeon carried it in the synoptic gospels, with no parallel to the Old Testament account. Nevertheless, with some imagination it is possible to relate the command to sacrifice Isaac to Jesus in a number of very plausible ways.Answer:God had willed that Jesus the promised Messiah should be born as a descendant to Abraham. After Isaac was born, Abraham thought that Isaac was the son the God had promised, but it was not so. When God told Abraham that his wife Sarah would beget a son through Abraham, he had promised him Jesus.Later God commanded Abraham to offer his son Isaac as a sacrifice. Again, Abraham thought God is asking him to sacrifice Isaac (Genesis 22.5 and 22:8). Just as Abraham was about to do what God had asked him to do, an angel of God stopped Abraham from doing what he was doing. Thereafter, Abraham sacrificed a ram instead.Most of the Jewish commentators argue that God had tested Abraham to test his loyalty towards God. In a way this kind of thinking is right because God wanted to see if Abraham is worthy to bring forth the promised Messiah into this world or not.After Abraham had obeyed God's command, he conferred on him the right to bring forth Jesus as his descendant.This is how God's command to sacrifice Isaac relates to Jesus.
What animals did god asked Abraham to sacrifice for the blood covenant?

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.
