In the Torah we find that the word \u201clove\u201d (i.e., ahavah) first appears regarding Abraham\u2019s passion for his son: \u201cTake your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love (\u05d0\u05b2\u05e9\u05c1\u05b6\u05e8\u05be\u05d0\u05b8\u05d4\u05b7\u05d1\u05b0\u05ea\u05bc\u05b8), and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you\u201d (Gen. 22:2). After journeying to the place, Abraham told his child that God would provide a lamb (\u05d0\u05b1\u05dc\u05d4\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05d9\u05b4\u05e8\u05b0\u05d0\u05b6\u05d4\u05be\u05dc\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9 \u05d4\u05b7\u05e9\u05bc\u05c2\u05b6\u05d4), and then bound Isaac, laid him upon an altar, and raised his knife to slay him (Gen. 22:8-10). At the very last moment, the Angel of the Lord called out: \u201cAbraham! Abraham! Do not lay your hand on the lad or do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son (\u05d1\u05bc\u05b5\u05df \u05d9\u05b8\u05d7\u05b4\u05d9\u05d3), from me\u201d (Gen. 22:11-12). Abraham then \u201clifted up his eyes\u201d and saw a ram \u201ccaught in a thicket\u201d which he offered in place of his son. Abraham then named the place Adonai-Yireh (\u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4 \u05d9\u05b4\u05e8\u05b0\u05d0\u05b6\u05d4), “the LORD who provides” (Gen. 22:14). The sacrifice of the lamb for Isaac portrayed the coming sacrifice of Yeshua, the great \u201cLamb of God\u201d (\u05e9\u05c2\u05b5\u05d4 \u05d4\u05b8\u05d0\u05b1\u05dc\u05d4\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd) who would be offered in exchange for the trusting sinner (John 1:29). Indeed the story of how God provided the lamb at Moriah (and later during the Passover in Egypt) foreshadowed the greater redemption given in Messiah at the “Passover cross,” and may be understood as the \u201cGospel according to Moses\u201d (Luke 24:27; John 5:46). Therefore, Rosh Hashanah, or the Day of Judgment (\u05d9\u05d5\u05b9\u05dd \u05d4\u05b7\u05d3\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9\u05df), is all about our Messiah, and the sound of the shofar reminds us of the Lamb of God who was offered in our place…<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/gen22-2a-analysis-1.gif?resize=511%2C661&ssl=1\")
