Genesis 22:9-24:44

Sarah dies in Hebron c. 2029 BC

It is interesting that God asked Abraham to do something that God himself abhorred - the sacrifice of a child Leviticus 20:1-5. The sacrificing of children was not uncommon during this time, so Abraham would have undoubtedly been familiar with the practice. In Carthage, thousands of urns containing charred remains of children have been found. You can read more about the practice of child sacrifices here.
