Sacrifice of Isaac

This picture depicts the Bibical story of the sacrifice of Isaac. It shows Abraham, as he is about to slay his son to sacrifice to the Lord. The angel is grabbing his sword to tell him not to, instead to go get the ram that was in the bush nearby. I really like this picture, although the scene doesn't really seem to be like it was described in the Bible, it shows the meaning of the story. Abraham was really willing to sacrifice what he asked God for in order to please him. I believe that for the Bible, it is the second best story that deals with human sacrifoce.
