Genesis 22:12
“And he said, 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.”
KJV
Read in Genesis 22Meaning
The most important immediate action is the prohibition: Abraham must not lay a hand on Isaac or do anything to him.
Read carefully
This verse cannot support human sacrifice or religious abuse; the divine command at the climax is explicitly to stop the harm.
Reflection
Fear of God in this narrative is not validated by Isaac's death, because the test concludes with restraint, preservation, and provision.
