I suspect Jews have corrupted these places. Jews probably wanted to stress their primacy or supremacy over surrounding nations so they changed the text.

Gen 22:2
"καὶ εἶπε· λαβὲ τὸν υἱόν σου τὸν ἀγαπητόν, ὃν ἠγάπησα"
"Take your son, the beloved one, whom you have loved"

Gen 22:12
καὶ εἶπε· μὴ ἐπιβάλῃς τὴν χεῖρά σου ἐπὶ τὸ παιδάριον μηδὲ ποιήσῃς αὐτῷ μηδέν· νῦν γὰρ ἔγνων, ὅτι φοβῇ σὺ τὸν Θεὸν καὶ οὐκ ἐφείσω τοῦ υἱοῦ σου τοῦ ἀγαπητοῦ δι᾿ ἐμέ.
"Lay not your hand upon the child, neither do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God, and for my sake you have not spared your beloved son"

Gen 22:16
κατ᾿ ἐμαυτοῦ ὤμοσα, λέγει Κύριος, οὗ εἵνεκεν ἐποίησας τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο, καὶ οὐκ ἐφείσω τοῦ υἱοῦ σου τοῦ ἀγαπητοῦ δι᾿ ἐμέ
"I have sworn by myself, says the Lord, because you have done this thing, and on my account have not spared your beloved son"

Thats why I do not use Jewish OT. Its very obviously influenced. These places would be also clear contradictions, because we know Abraham had more sons:

"Abraham and his son Ishmael were both circumcised on that very day."
Gen 17:26
Yes he loved both sons but only one was used to represent the spiritual seed, not seen, Christ. Ishmael is not listed in the genealogy as the generation of Christ . God is no respecter of persons . It’s all about the one Seed... Christ. Never about the flesh of either. We do not wrwstle against flesh and blood. They do, the as the god of this world (thier god) has been a murderer from the beginning. Nothing new.

Nothing against that. But it became 700 years before Mohamed. Today´s claims of muslims or jews are all unbased.

For example DNA tests of people in Israel showed they are less Jews than Palestines. We must take claims and wishes of such middle-eastern nations with a huge discretion :)

And we must also be very careful when using their sacred texts. Its tempered with heavily to conform to their wishes.
There has not been one new revelation since the day God sealed up that possibility on the island of Patmos. The sky way is open to signs and lying wonders as false prophecy. God sends a strong delusion to those who reject the warning not to add or subtract from the book of His prophecy the Bible. What we had in part y untill the last book revelation today we have the f fcter or whole law of God. With no laws missing by which we could know him more adequately..

When trying the spirits to see if they are prophecy of God or that of men as false prophecy Mohamed, like the false prophet Joeself Smith fails. It becomes a sacred book… sacred to who? Those who do add ?

As I demonstrated, it is not present in older texts, so it was tempered with later for some reasons.

Abraham is a picture of God the Father. Isaac a picture of Jesus . Abrahams servant who he tasked to find Isaac wife a picture of the Holy Spirit.
The ten camels are the ten commandments and so on......

I meant Jewish sacred texts.
