Paper Back. Condición: New. Slain by Abraham, Isaac is resurrected by the angel; the ram that took Isaac's place was created on the Sabbath; God is not testing Abraham's faith but punishing him for rejecting Ishmael. Variations and details such as these were woven into the Genesis text by centuries of Talmudic lore and rabbinic commentary. In this classic work, Spiegel explores the rich traditions surrounding the Akedah (binding of Isaac) from the earliest Jewish legends through the Middle Ages. He traces the story's echoes of ancient sacrificial rites--both animal and human--into the archaic past and demonstrates its influence on various Old Covenant rituals that followed: Isaac's near-sacrifice prefigures the Passover, the ram's horn becomes the shofur that announces the New Year. The Akedah served as a perennial touchstone for collective memory, summoned up as each generation faced trials and persecutions (Antiochus, the Crusades) and spurring Jewish (and later Christian and Islamic) meditations on atonement, divine justice, and mercy. Passages such as these expand around the biblical text like concentric ripples in a pool of water: 'Both of them brought the stones, both of them brought the fire, both of them brought the wood;' 'Abraham was like to a man who builds a wedding house for his son, and Isaac was like to man getting ready for the wedding feast, which he does with joy.'.…
