Issac Speaks

Isaac. The middle child of the Patriarchs. The quiet one stuck between Abraham and Jacob. Abraham is the father of faith -- the man with whom God made his covenant. Jacob is the man who became Israel -- his twelve sons became the twelve tribes of Israel. But what about Isaac? The boy named Laughter. The promised son of Abraham and Sarah's old age? There's not much said about Isaac. He rarely speaks. But there was that one incident. The day his father almost sacrificed him as a burnt offering to Yahweh. Imagine Isaac as an old man recalling the day he and his father went to the top of Moriah to worship Yahweh, and how he ended up bound upon an altar while his father held the knife.
