ABRAHAM and ISAAC Genesis chapter 22 Yahweh wanted to test his servant Abraham’s faithfulness. He told Abraham to take his son Isaac, whom he loved very much, and go into the land of Moriyah. He was to offer to Yahweh a burnt offering on the mountain Yahweh chose. Abraham rose up early and he took his son Isaac with him. He split wood for a burnt offering and went to the place that Elohim told him. On the third day, Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac, his son; and he took the fire and knife in his hand. Isaac said to his father, we have the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the offering? He told Isaac that Elohim would have a lamb for them. They went to the place Yahweh chose and Abraham built an altar there. He arranged the wood and bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar. Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. A Messenger of Yahweh called to him from the heavens and said, Abraham, do not lay a hand on the boy! For I know that you fear Elohim and have not withheld your son from Me. Abraham looked up and saw a ram behind him was caught in a thicket by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram for an offering instead of his son. The Messenger of Yahweh called to Abraham a second time and said, I have sworn by Myself, declares Yahweh, on account of this thing you have done, and have not withheld your son, your only son, that blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is on the lip of the sea. And your Seed shall possess the gate of His enemies. And in your Seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have listened to my voice. Now, as you have heard the story, do you think you can solve the puzzle?!!! Crossword
