God Will Provide [05-07]
As Abraham and Isaac walked to the place of sacrifice, Isaac asked, “Father, we have wood for the sacrifice, but where is the lamb?” Abraham replied, “God will provide the lamb for the sacrifice, my son.”
他把儿子以撒捆好，放在祭坛上。正当他要宰杀儿子时，神说:「住手!不要伤害孩子!我现在知道你是敬畏我的，因为你没每有将你的独生子留下而不给我。」
