Verified answer

The Bible doesn't claim that Abraham told her of the demand.

The story shouldn't be taken literally. There is a strong scholarly view that it represents the Jewish rejection of human -- and particularly child-- sacrifice to gods, something which was taking place in the Middle East at the time and with which the early Jews would have been very familiar.

She never knew I do not think and he was showing he was willing to give the most important thing in his life to God. But God did know he could resurrect him.

Abraham's faith was so strong, he took a goat with him and Isaac, belivingthat Yahweh would't allow him to murder his son+ break the 6th Commandment. He was correct of course.

The Bible gives no indication that Sarah knew in advance what Abraham was planning. It also indicates that Isaac di not know. So she could not have reacted to it before hand. Her reaction would have to come after the act.

The Jewish religions has always taken this story as a very dramatic way that God used to show Abraham that human - and especially child - sacrifice was wrong. A common practice in the part of the world where Abraham lived. But stopping Abraham, God was seen as showing that no matter how devote a person was - even willing to make such a sacrifice - God did not want it.

Sarah's reaction would have been to agree with Abraham that God did want human - or child - sacrifices.

As such, both the Jewish and the Christian religions have never practiced any form of human sacrifices. Both point to this incident in the life of Abraham as their reason for rejecting any type of human sacrifices.

Abraham had to be a father that made Jehovah was very proud and happy. Abraham was more than 130 years old when he sent his servant to find a wife for his son Isaac. It was because of trust and faith in Jehovah that the servant was able to gain Rebekah as a wife and that she complied with the arrangement. Read about this at Genesis chapter 24. Not that I expect you to look into reading this account, but it is there for you if you want to. Sarah was very faithful to her husband and to Jehovah because of her love and trust in them.

As Jehovah's Witnesses go from door to door in our ministry, we offer to read just one Scripture; but what happens at more than 90% of the doors? They refuse to listen or talk to us. Yet, because of our faith and trust in Jehovah, we are happy because we are in obedience to Christ Jesus who taught us what, how, where and why we must preach the good news about God's Kingdom.

None of them actually existed.

The bible will tell you Abraham was acting on gods will.

However it depends on which version of the bible you read.

In some versions Sarah and Abraham were not husband and wife, but brother and sister. But still had a child together???

According to one version Sarah lived to be 127 years old, and when she died Abraham who was older was still living. Impossible now let alone then.

Apparently Abraham was told by god to sacrifice his son as a test to prove his trust in god. He bound his son and built an altar for the sacrifice was just about to murder him when apparently one of gods angels appeared and told him to stop.

Apparently god didn't notice.

Sarah not being aware of what had happened had no reaction.

This is supposed to be real?

If that happened today Abraham would be locked up for attempted murder.

Isaac would be taken into care for his own protection and Sarah would be locked up for child neglect.

Anyone who actually believes any of this needs urgent psychiatric help.

According to Judaic writings on the topic, Sarah wasn't aware and as chattel she probably would never have been told. As to Isaac, his father's attempt to murder him essentially destroyed his relationship with dear ole Dah.

Rolls eyes

you are an idiot

In real life, I imagine she would have been shocked as hell, but in the fictional universe of the Bible, she was okay with whatever her husband did, because he was in charge.

I can't imagine a woman like that existing anywhere except in bad fiction, by the way.

Ask him before he was reborn.

The account seems to indicate that Sarah was unaware of what Abraham was doing. He does not seem to have mentioned it to her. According to Genesis 22:8, it does not even seem that Isaac knew.
