The Story of Abraham and Isaac: Genesis, Chapter 22

What is left out?
- Are there daughters?
- How old is his son?
- Where are other people?
- No indication about Abraham reconsidering?
- How did the son react when he started to get tied by his own father?
- Isaac didnt reject the idea?
- Why would God even ask Abraham to sacrifice his only son in the 1st place?
- Does the wife get told about this?
- How did she react?

What are the gaps?
- At any point did Abraham think why would God wanted him to do it?
- Afterwards, Abraham and Isaac didnt talk?
- Wouldnt Isaac be afraid of his father for what he was about to do for him only to sacrifice for God?
- Did Abraham and Isaac explain what happened to the wife?
