Isaac Lays the Wood on Abraham’s Altar

Product
Image ID

Description
Isaac places a bundle of dry branches upon a rough stone altar while Abraham stands close behind him in the wilderness. The barren hills, harsh sunlight, and handmade altar point to the solemn journey to Moriah in Genesis 22, where Abraham obeys God’s command and prepares to offer his beloved son. The wood in Isaac’s hands becomes the central sign of the test: the son carries the material for the sacrifice, while the father walks in obedience and trust. This biblical scene speaks to faith under trial, covenant obedience, and the foreshadowing of substitutionary sacrifice, as God later provides the ram in Isaac’s place.

Genesis 22

6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. And he took in his hand the fire and the knife. So they went both of them together. 7 And Isaac said to his father Abraham, “My father!” And he said, “Here am I, my son.” He said, “Behold, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?” 8 Abraham said, “God will provide for himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they went both of them together. 9 When they came to the place of which God had told him, Abraham built the altar there and laid the wood in order and bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. 10 Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son. 11 But the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here am I.” 12 He said, “Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.” 13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him was a ram, caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son. 14 So Abraham called the name of that place, “The LORD will provide”; as it is said to this day, “On the mount of the LORD it shall be provided.”
