Abraham, at the age of 99, is circumcised and G-d reveals Himself to him in the form of a human being,

For Abraham, the news that Sarah would give birth to a son in a year was the sweetest thing.

Abraham prays to G-d to forgive the city of Sodom, which is sinking deeper and deeper into debauchery.

The L-rd destroys Sodom, but angels save Lot and his daughters.

Lot’s daughters, having drunk their father, lay with him, and by him they gave birth,

Their sons later became the ancestors of the Moabites and Amonians.

G-d, as promised, gives Abraham and Sarah a son, for which they were devoted to Him,

The son is named Yitzchak and is circumcised on the 8th day, for the covenant has already been given.

G-d tests Avraham, commanding him to sacrifice his only son,

But He stops Abraham at the moment when the father is about to draw the knife on his son.

The lamb that got away was put on the altar instead of Yitzhak,

There are no coincidences in G-d’s world, you can’t understand it if you don’t understand.

Here we are talking about two great Righteous men, father and son – Abraham and Yitzhak, Who went themselves and led the Jewish people to G-d in different ways.

Avraham was a proclaimer of G-d and received more than once ‘signs’ from G-d,

Yitzhak – converted the Gentiles to the true faith, both are one in Him!!!!
