Abraham and Isaac (Genesis 22, 11-13), wood engraving, published 1877 - stock illustration

"But the Lordaas angel called to him from heaven,aAbraham! Abraham!ai aHere I am!ai he answered. aDo not harm the boy!ai the angel said. aDo not do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God because you did not withhold your son, your only son, from me.aiAbraham looked up and saw behind him a ram caught in the bushes by its horns. So he went over and got the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son. (Genesis, Chapter 22, 11-13). Woodcut after a drawing by Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld (German painter, 1794 - 1872) from my archive, published in 1877."
