Who Killed Jesus?

[Lacunae_Quell]

From the story of Abraham and Isaac (Genesis 22:1-19):

(first two verses)

God very clearly commands Abraham to sacrifice his son (“as a burnt offering”, so clearly there is no weaseling about “Oh, I just meant bind him to Me in a special covenant” or anything like that). And then, just as Abraham is about to cut his son’s throat, God says “Psych!”

Maybe it’s just the translation. Except that every single translation in existence makes it clear that God is telling Abraham to sacrifice-as-in-kill his son.

Guess I should have read it first.
