Genesis 22: 2 : Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love–Isaac–and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.”
So which Bible are you using WC? Or is the Quran not clear about Abraham taking Isaac? Still waiting for clarity about the Quran on this.

The Quran doesn’t actually state which son was sacrificed…See Surih As-Saffat Ayat 100:
*And he said, "Verily, I repair to my Lord who will guide me:
O Lord give me a son, of the righteous."
We announced to him a youth of meekness.
37:100 And when he became a full-grown youth,
His father said to him, “My son, I have seen in a dream that I should
sacrifice thee; therefore, consider what thou seest right.”
He said, “My father, do what thou art bidden; of the patient, if God
please, shalt thou find me.”
And when they had surrendered them to the will of God, he laid him down
upon his forehead:
We cried unto him, "O Abraham!
Now hast thou satisfied the vision,." See how we recompense the
righteous.
This was indeed a decisive test.
And we ransomed his son with a costly victim,
And we left this for him among posterity,
“Peace be on Abraham!”
The interesting thing to me about the above verses is that it clearly indicates Abraham consulted with His son and they together agreed on the sacrifice. Many believe it was Ishmael rather than Isaac but the important point is that Abraham agreed to the sacrifice of His son even after years of being childless!
The Bible verse quoted above (Genesis 22:2) is interesting as according to the Bible Ishmael was the first born and “only son” of several years…
