The Akedah

The Akedah. The son carries the wood; the ram dies in his stead; Abraham names the place and the record keeps the name with a note attached — in the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.

In plain words

Abraham takes Isaac up the mountain; the son carries the wood, and a ram dies in his place. Abraham names the place, and the text adds that in the mount of the LORD “it shall be seen.” It is substitution rehearsed, not a forecast.

The mechanism

SUBSTITUTION — the pattern rehearsed, not a forecast
