abraham abraham you are old and cannot hear what if you miss my small voice amongst the creaking of your own grief kill your son unknowing of what he will be and commit israel to nothing abraham you must know or hope that god will not allow your son to die you must know that this is a test but then why are you so bent on isaac's destruction look at your eyes there is more than fear there i see in your eyes desperation a manic passion to do right by your god whom you are not able to see or know am i too late i will try to stay your old hands the knife clenched within them intent on ending life will you hear my small voice amongst the creaking or will it be the chance bleating of a passing ram
