Hvem var Abraham?

Opprinnelig lagt inn av nolo, her.

Jeg innrømmer villig at jeg syns fortellingen om sønneofringen er vanskelig.

Det er det visst flere som synes. Både Bob Dylan og Lenoard Cohen har skrevet sanger om den. Det vil si, i Highway 61 er det vel bare det første verset som handler om Abraham. Story of Isaac starter fra Isaks perspektiv:

The door it opened slowly,
my father he came in,
I was nine years old.
And he stood so tall above me,
his blue eyes they were shining
and his voice was very cold.

He said, "I've had a vision
and you know I'm strong and holy,
I must do what I've been told."
