Abraham's seriousness and dedication to his covenant with God controls the tense actions and events between Abraham and Isaac. Abraham is driven in his actions by the understanding and faith that his faith in God will bring benefits. Without hesitation, consider doing whatever God tells you to do. Abraham's willingness and Isaac's sacrifice show the great power God has over Abraham. Abraham's desire for God's approval and blessings forces him into serious actions without God's concrete command. Abraham simply implies God's intentions from the limited conversations held between Abraham, God, and the angel. The unspoken dialogue between the characters emphasizes the implicit ideas of the covenant that Abraham must follow. Abraham sees that he must completely envelop himself in faith and trust in God. The absence of important dialogue creates covenant implications that are unspoken but are natural to Abraham. He finds it necessary to obey God's orders to the best of his ability, regardless of consequences or personal distress. The basis of Abraham's actions is laid by what little dialogue there is. God speaks to Abraham and tells him to simply make an offering and Abraham plays God's assignment and is forced to sacrifice Isaac to prove his worth to God. Abraham takes on what God wants from him to fulfill the covenant. As Abraham sacrifices Isaac, no words are exchanged that express Abraham's solemn attitude as he attempts to complete his task. As events progress, Isaac's only question to Abraham is, "where is the lamb for the burnt offering?" (Genesis 22:7). Isaac naively does not question Abraham's motives or investigate further the course of events. It's vaguely reassuring... middle of paper... and son. As Abraham decides to slaughter Isaac, he sees that "there was a ram" (Genesis 22:13). The appearance of the ram by God's will, at just the right time, blesses Abraham by sparing Isaac's life. The object's timely appearances demonstrate God's involvement in Abraham's completion of his task and the rewards Abraham reaps for trusting God. Believing and trusting that God is only testing him of faith and conviction, Abraham is able to complete tasks what he would like. otherwise I wouldn't be able to do it. He puts God before anything else in the sacrifice of Isaac and ignores his parental feelings as well as Isaac's feelings. Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac just to prove his worth to God earns him credibility. Abraham is able to prove himself before God and complete the covenant which leads to great benefits for Abraham and his descendants.
