# walked to the place of sacrifice
|
||
|
||
God had told Abraham to sacrifice Isaac on a special high hill that was about three days’ walk from where they lived.
|
||
|
||
# Isaac asked, “Father, we have wood for the sacrifice, but where is the lamb?”
|
||
|
||
This is direct quotation. It can also be stated as an indirect quotation: “Isaac told his father that they had wood for the sacrifice, but he did not know where the lamb was.” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-quotations]])

# wood for the sacrifice
|
||
|
||
For a sacrifice, normally the lamb was killed and then placed on top of wood so that the wood and the lamb could be burned up with fire.
|

|
||
# the lamb
|
||
|
||
A young sheep or goat would be the normal animal for a sacrifice.
|
||
|
||
# Abraham replied, “God will provide the lamb for the sacrifice, my son.”
|
||
|

This is direct quotation. It can also be stated as an indirect quotation: “Abraham replied to his son that God would provide the lamb for the sacrifice.” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-quotations]])
|

|
||
# will provide the lamb
|
||
|
||
Abraham may have believed that Isaac was the “lamb” that God provided, although God fulfilled Abraham’s words by providing a ram to sacrifice in Isaac’s place.
