Although Isaac wondered about the lack of an animal for the sacrifice, he meekly submitted to his father’s placing him on the altar and then tying him hand and foot in order to prevent or control any involuntary reactions that might have occurred if the slaughtering knife had been used. ​ — Genesis 22: 7 - 9.
Kuigi Iisak avaldas imestust ohvrilooma puudumise üle, allus ta alandlikult isale, kes ta altarile seadis ja seejärel ta käed - jalad kinni sidus, hoidmaks ära või ohjeldamaks tahtmatuid reflekse, mis oleksid võinud tekkida, kui tapanuga oleks kasutatud. — 1. Moosese 22: 7 — 9.
