1872. B. C
AND IT CAME TO PASS AFTER
SOME YEARS, THAT GOD DID TEMPT
ABRAHAM, AND SAID UNTO HIM, TAKE
NOW THY SON, THINE ONLY SON ISAAC,
WHOM THOU LOVEST, AND GET THEE IN-
-TO THE LAND OF MORIAH, AND OFFER
HIM THERE FOR A BURNT-OFFERING.
AND ABRAHAM BUILT AN ALTAR THERE,
AND STRETCHED OUT HIS HAND, AND TOOK
THE KNIFE TO SLAY HIS ONLY SON, BUT THE
ANGEL OF THE LORD CALLED TO HIM OUT OF
HEAVEN, AND SAID, LAY NOT THINE HAND UPON
THE LAD, FOR NOW I KNOW THAT THOU FEAREST
GOD. AND ABRAHAM LIFTED UP HIS EYES, AND
LOOKED, AND BEHELD A RAM CAUGHT IN THE
THICKET, AND ABRAHAM OFFERED HIM UP FOR
A BURNT-OFFERING INSTEAD OF HIS SON.
AND IN 1680 B.C. SARAH WAS 127 YEARS OLD,
AND DIED IN KIRJATH-ARBA, IN THE LAND OF
CANAAN. AND ABRAHAM WEPT FOR HER.
NOW SARAH IS THE ONLY WOMAN IN SCRIP-
-TURE WHOSE ENTIRE AGE IS MENTIONED.
AND ABRAHAM SAID UNTO HIS SERVANT,
WHO RULED OVER HIS HOUSE, GO UNTO MY
COUNTRY, AND TAKE A WIFE UNTO MY
SON ISAAC. AND HE TOOK 10 CAMELS,
AND WENT NIGH UNTO THE CITY OF
NAHOR, AND STOOD BY A WELL,
WHERE THE DAUGHTERS OF
THE MEN OF THE CITY CAME
TO DRAW WATER.

Oryginalna ilustracja medalierska Thomason's Medallic Illustration of the Holy Scriptures [Bible], Number 11 - Abraham składający swojego syna Izaaka w ofierze. Według Carracciego. (Thomason D. na dolnej krawędzi awersu).
Thomason Medallic Bible to zestaw sześćdziesięciu medali wybitych w 1830 roku, który oddaje istotę całej Biblii w sztuce medalierskiej. Projekty awersów zostały zainspirowane dziełami znanych renesansowych artystów i wykonane przez kilku różnych rytowników. Rewers każdego medalu zawiera gęsty cytat tekstowy lub wyjaśnienie opisujące temat każdego medalu. Zestaw został wyprodukowany w Birmingham w Anglii przez Sir Edwarda Thomasona, który poczuł boskie natchnienie, by "promować chwałę Boga poprzez wyciskanie słowa Bożego na złocie, srebrze i innych niezniszczalnych metalach". Birmingham, Anglia, ok. 1830 r.

An original Thomason’s Medallic Illustration of the Holy Scriptures [Bible], Number 11 - Abraham offering his son Isaac for a sacrifice. After Carracci. (Thomason D. at lower obverse rim).
 The Thomason Medallic Bible is a set of sixty medals struck in 1830 that captures the essence of the entire Holy Bible in medallic art. The obverse designs were inspired by the works of well-known Renaissance artists and executed by several different engravers. The reverse of each medal contains a dense text quotation or explanation describing the topic of each medal. The set was produced in Birmingham, England by Sir Edward Thomason, who felt divinely inspired to “promote the glory of God by impressing the word of God upon gold, silver and other indestructible metals”. Birmingham, England, c. 1830.
