Where is Mt Moriah? What does Moriah mean?
And where other events happened according to midrash – Jerusalem, David episode with threshingfloor of Ornan, where the temple is built by Solomon, where Jesus died (?), Where Muslem believe Mohamed rose (?)and a few more significant events. (some say it is where the Garden of Eden is also!)
Unsure what the meaning of the word is.. Fodder for more midrash!
Word meaning. More. Or the word relating to teaching or to show or bitterness. Midrash when God stops him. Abraham complains that God keeps changing his mind...
All about Abraham “Misunderstanding” God’s comman.
Awesome. Vs. The place of instruction. Where light comes from.
Ve ha a lehu. To take him up there for a going up. Similar to Aliyah. Same as a burnt offering. Offering is the most common interpretation.
But it is clear by the end this might not be the case. And that God doesn't want child sacrifice.
BOOK: Fear and Trembling by Soren Kierkegaard
Question what happens from Isaacs point of view and how this effects him going forward.
Midrash. That Abraham is trying to be sure that Isaac believes in God.
