To help us grasp in some measure what that means, long before Jesus came to earth, God instructed Abraham, some 3,890 years ago: “Take, please, your son, your only son whom you so love, Isaac, and make a trip to the land of Moriah and there offer him up as a burnt offering on one of the mountains that I shall designate to you. ”
Et aidata meil mingilgi määral mõista selle tähendust, ütles Jumal Aabrahamile umbes 3890 aastat tagasi, kaua aega enne seda, kui Jeesus maa peale tuli: „Võta nüüd Iisak, oma ainus poeg, keda sa armastad, ja mine Morija maale ning ohverda ta seal põletusohvriks ühel neist mägedest, mis ma sulle nimetan! ”.
