"You do not ask that. Not even You."
The story
Abraham takes Isaac, the promised son, on a three-day walk to a mountain in Moriah. Isaac carries the wood and asks the question that matters: where is the lamb? Abraham builds the altar, and at the last moment an angel stays his hand. A ram, caught in a thicket, dies in Isaac's place.
Two ways to watch
Mira doubts. Tov trusts. The show lives in the space between them.
Tov · trust
"He climbed believing they would both come down again."

The hardest test, and kindest answer
Every word from Scripture
Quoted line for line from the King James Version.
Genesis 22:2God speaks
Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest
I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you
Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering
Genesis 22:12God speaks
Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me
a ram caught in a thicket by his horns
In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen
as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore
in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed
Behold the Lamb of God
which taketh away the sin of the world

Faithful to the text
Checked against the KJV
All 11 quoted spans were verified word for word against the King James Version, then read for fairness and reverence before a single frame was made. Mira & Tov are companions in a dramatized retelling, not people from the Bible.
Talk about it
Mira came in angry at the command: "You do not ask that." What part of Genesis 22 is hardest for you to sit with: the test itself, or why God asked at all? Subscribe if you want more Bible stories told straight, with room for honest doubt.
