According to the tale, god is very well capable of asking someone to kill their own child... and seemingly incapable of taking it back... needing to send an angel to prevent that blunder.
And wasn't he lucky that the angel didn't get stuck in traffic that day? Or have the following scenario take place:
Angel: "Abraham, Abraham, I am a messenger of God. God says don't kill Isaac."
Abraham: "Don't what?"
Angel: "Kill Isaac."
Abraham: "OK." *brings knife down stabbing Isaac to death*
Now repeat all that, but in ancient Hebrew (this is recent Hebrew, btw):
אנג'ל: "אברהם, אברהם, אני שליח של אלוהים אלוהים אומר לא להרוג יצחק.."
אברהם: "האם לא מה?"
אנג'ל: "הרוג יצחק."
אברהם: "אישור". * מביא סכין דקירת יצחק למוות *
You're welcome!
