Moruah vs Marwah

Submitted by sTs (United Arab Emirates), Nov 22, 2008 at 13:11

• Who was sacrificed?
• which year was it when the sacrifice took place?
• How old was Isaac when he was "sacrificed"?

1. The bible is trying to confuse the readers on who is sacrificed and where the sacrifice took place
2. The sacrificed as the bible says is thy only son, and who was the only son of Abraham before the birth of Isaac, but the one and the only Ishmael.
3. Where is Moriah who are the people cofused with? but the one and only Mount Marwah near Mecca where Abraham took Hagar and her son Ishmael and where he was to sacrificed his son Ishmael.
4. Ishmael was baby when Abraham took him and his mother to Mecca (Marwah)
5. The people who corrupted/rewrote the bible were confused and portrayed that Ishmael was 16/17 years of age when taken to "Beer Sheba" , and he was not able to help his mother.
6. Ishmael was taken to Marwah long before Isaac was born, about 12 years
