Genesis 22:2

He (God) said, "Now take (I beg you) your son, your only (precious – Hebr. jachid) son whom you love (Hebr. ahava) – Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah and offer him there as a burnt offering (Hebr. olah) to me, on a mountain that I will tell you about."
[In this verse, the word jachid is used for the first time. The word describes something that is precious. Abraham also had Ishmael, but Isaac is the only son born to Sarah. The word for love, ahava, is also used for the first time in the Old Testament here. Ahava means to love or love. It is significant that, just as Abraham loves Isaac, Jesus is God's beloved Son. This entire chapter is a picture of how God will sacrifice Jesus for all of humanity. In every detail, we see here many foreshadowings of what will happen later. God proved his love for us by giving his only Son. In fact, this is an important prerequisite for the continuation of the covenant that God made with Abraham in Gen. 15. If Abraham is willing to sacrifice his son, God is prepared to do the same, which also happens 2,000 years later. In a blood covenant, both parties must be willing to make the same sacrifices for each other.]
