God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac. However, at the last moment, an angel intervened, and Abraham was provided with a ram caught in a thicket, which he then sacrificed instead. This story is significant in the Abrahamic faiths as a demonstration of faith and obedience.

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.

In Genesis 22:1-19 Abraham was tested by God to see if he would be willing to sacrifice his son. The son's name was Isaac. Abraham took two of his servants along with Isaac; and Isaac carried wood to the site designated by God.
