    There are no four seasons in the Nile Delta. In this year, there are only two distinct seasons: dry season and rainy season.  Welcome to Reading This is the time when the rainy season is coming. There is abundant rainfall on the earth. There are green fields and farms everywhere, as well as rivers with abundant water.  Isaac is a strong boy. In this beautiful season, he always plays in the river with his friends, or catches some fish and shrimps.  It had just rained this morning, the sky was blue, and the breeze was caressing the water. Isaac and his friends were playing in the river as usual, unaware that there was a sad-looking man on the river bank.  Abram sat on the embankment and looked at his son, feeling unspeakable pain in his heart.  The craftsmen behind him picked up their tools and went to the northwest mountain to cast an altar.  At this time, Abram understood that when the altar was cast, it might be the time when his only son would die.  After he was silent for a moment, Isaac called over.  The son did not see the sadness written on his father's face. He stared at Abram with his big eyes and asked, "Father, what do you want me to do?" Abram took his son's hand and said, "Come home with me.  "Isaac asked with some confusion: "Father, I want to play for a while longer." Abram firmly held his son's hand and said, "Go home, and I will let your mother do the best for you.  Delicious food." Upon hearing this, Isaac no longer had the urge to return to the river, and happily followed his father back home.  When he got home, Abram told the cook to cook quickly and asked the servants to give Isaac bathing clothes.  Isaac felt a little baffled by his father's behavior.  After taking a shower, Isaac, who had changed his clothes, was waiting in the restaurant for the delicious food that his father said.  The fact is that Isaac did not disappoint. The table was filled with all kinds of delicious food.  Excellent marinated pork mixed with fresh vegetables and sauce.  Excellent white bread with pure olive oil and a whole roasted leg of lamb.  The sight of Izadun whetted his appetite.  Abram said, "Eat, my son, these are all yours?" "Really?" Isaac couldn't believe what his father said, because his father had never said such a thing every time he ate.  Abram said, "It's true. Eat it." "Where's your mother?" Isaac couldn't hold it anymore, but he still asked.  Abram said, "I asked her to go see your grandfather and she won't come back until tomorrow." "Then I'll eat it!" Isaac finally couldn't control himself and began to feast.  And Abram, who was sitting across the table, kept drinking wine to numb his nerves and prevent them from continuing to twitch.  After Isaac had had enough wine and food, Abram said, "My son, it's getting late. Go to bed. I'll take you out tomorrow." "Where?" Isaac asked.  "Don't ask! You'll know when you get there." Abram changed his tone of command.  Isaac seemed a little frustrated. He did not dare to go against his father's wishes, so he had to go back to his bedroom obediently.  That night, Abram stayed up all night. He sat on the stone bench at the door in a daze until dawn.  Early the next morning, Abram woke Isaac up.  Isaac found that his father had finished packing, and the cloth bag on his back was filled with kerosene for ignition.  He asked his father: "Where are we going?" Abram said: "I will take you to sacrifice to God." After Isaac finished washing, he followed his father toward the mountains in the northwest.  Before dawn, the men who built the altar returned and told Abram that the altar had been repaired and could be used at any time.  The father and son walked along with the early morning breeze, thinking about that mountain. The mountain was called Mount Moriah by the Hebrews. The mountain was not too steep. By noon, they climbed up the mountain and saw the  A makeshift altar.  When the son saw that his father's hands were empty, he asked, "Father, how can we make sacrifices without sacrificial offerings?" Abram took a deep breath and said, "God will prepare the offerings himself, and we only need to carry out the steps of the sacrifices."  "You better not ask any more questions, just follow me." When the two men reached the altar, it was already piled with firewood for burning. Abram knelt under the altar and worshiped the sky, muttering something.  Although Isaac didn¡¯t know what his father was praying for, he didn¡¯t dare to mess around at such a sacred moment, so he had to kneel beside Abram in silence.  At this time, Abram suddenly asked his son: "Son, if one day God needs you and calls you, are you willing to go and see Him?" Isaac shook his head.The father said: "I have never seen God, and I don't know if I will go." Abram asked again: "As one of God's people, are you willing to dedicate everything to God?" "What about you? Father, are you willing?  Do you want to sacrifice everything for God?" Isaac asked Abram innocently.  Abram looked up at the sky and sighed: "I thought I could, but" "But what? Father?" Abram stood up and said, "I thought for a long time, and I found that I still can't.  It is my sin to serve God wholeheartedly. "What sin have you committed?"  Abram said: "The things God asked me to do are difficult for me to do." "What kind of thing is that?" Abram stared at his son for a long time, and finally bit his lip and said, "Son,  Please don¡¯t blame me! I can¡¯t refuse what God asked me to do!¡± After saying that, he suddenly took out the rope from his body and tied up Isaac.  Isaac was shocked and asked: "Father, what are you going to do?" Abram carried his son up to the altar and said, "I want to use you as an offering for the burnt offering." Isaac shouted, "Father, why are you doing this?  Do you want to do this?" Abram also shouted angrily: "This is God's will, I can't go against it." Isaac was so frightened that he burst into tears. From his father's determined eyes, he felt that Abram was definitely not.  He was joking, but he really wanted to sacrifice himself. He seemed extremely frightened. Facing the approach of death, he continued to faint.  Abram's tears also flowed out. He choked with sobs, but he still held back his grief and lit the firewood and poured kerosene on it to make it burn brighter.  The son was placed in front of the fire like a sacrifice. According to the steps of the sacrifice, the living body must be disemboweled first, take out the internal organs and put them into the fire, then sprinkle the blood of the sacrifice all around the altar, and finally put the body on the fire.  Cut the meat into pieces and throw them into the fire one by one to worship the true God.  And the sacrifice at this time is his son.  Abram had already taken out the dagger from his waist, holding his son's neck firmly with his left hand, and holding the sharp knife high with his right hand. Seeing the fear radiating from the child's face, his heart trembled again.  However, he did not dare to disobey God's will. The sacrifice had already begun and could not be stopped. At this moment, Abram held back the tears that were about to fall and dropped his raised right hand suddenly.  To be continued.  ) : "57 Novels" or visit "57xs" directly.
