Story of Abraham and Issac

What's left out?
  • Issac's reaction to his father's action
  • Abraham's thoughts after the command from God
  • Wife and what the wife might have thought about this situation
  • Description of Issac and Abraham
  • Happening before the command from God

What are the gaps?
  • Walking down the mountain
  • The conversation between Abraham and Issac while walking down the mountain
  • The left behind servants
  • The reward from God after
  • Wife, family

What behaviors are rewarded?
  • Dedication towards God
  • Braveness
  • Christianity
What does the story take for granted?



What questions aren’t being asked?
  • Why did God told to sacrificing Abraham's only son
  • Why did Abraham choose to sacrifice his son
  • Why didn't Abraham question God
  • What did his son Issac think about his father 



Between Verses Two and Three:


What is Abraham’s reaction to God’s demand?
  • Took in action of what God has demand Abraham

How does he feel about it?
  • Sadness above all



Between Verses 18 and 19:


What did they talk about as they walked down the mountain?
  • God's reward to Abraham of his commitment towards God
How did Isaac react?
  •  Positive, understood his father


How might Sarah have reacted when they came home and told her what had happened?
  • Shocked but proud of Abraham's commitment towards God, or very shocked at what Abraham had done to their only son
Overall,


What is silenced?


Why?


What is the moral of this story?

  1. Sonya, it is pleasing to see that you have completed most of the questions. However, you need to work on developing your answers. At the moment, you are only addressing the basic elements of the task.
    You should also consider utilising evidence and integrating it into your answers.
