Lesson 3

Isaac on the Altar (Genesis 22: 1-24)

Abraham’s son, Isaac, plays a key role in God’s plan of salvation.  But in Genesis 22, God says to Abraham:  “Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah.  Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering . . . !” 

The Story Goes On . . . (Genesis 23: 1-36: 43)

Isaac survives, and our story continues with tales of Isaac and his twin sons, Jacob and Esau.
