| Bob Dylan summarized the Akedah in a single line: "God said to
Abraham, kill me a son. That a man
killed his daughter and used Abraham as an excuse is not anomalous but
the typical enactment of the cultural script created by the Akedah as
"foundation story" for Western patriarchy. Another midrash suggests that Isaac,
after the story of the Akedah (Genesis 22), travels to lsmael and Hagar
and returns both of them to Abraham's house. |
