God asks Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac on Mount Moriah. Abraham agrees to God's command without argument, even though God gives him no reason for the sacrifice. After Isaac is bound to an altar, an angel stops Abraham at the last minute, at which point Abraham discovers a ram caught in some nearby bushes. Abraham then sacrifices the ram in Isaac's stead.
