	God demands that Abraham prove his loyalty by sacrificing his son, Isaac (Genesis 22:1-13). While in the original bible passage, Isaac is bound and silent while Abraham prepares the sacrifice, in Lalli's/Torri's version he is willing to give his life. Lalli makes it quite clear that for Isaac, sacrificing himself for ~~god~~ is a heroic deed. It might prove an interesting future task for scholars to find out ~~why~~ Lalli ~~made it so~~. It stands to reason that heroic sacrifice was to be glorified, and the sacrifice of an Isaac that finds heroism in his deed might have fit better into the politics of the day (maybe ~~prepare~~ for war) than Jesus' entirely passive attitude.
