Hebrews 10:1–4

1 For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come and not the very image of the things, can never, by the same sacrifices offered continually year after year, make perfect those who draw near with them. 2 Otherwise, they would have stopped offering them, because those who offer sacrifices, having been cleansed once, would no longer have any consciousness of sins. 3 But through these sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year, 4 because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

Abraham! He said: Here I am. 12 The angel said: Do not lay your hand on the young man, nor do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God and have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me. 13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw: and behold, behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by its horns. Abraham went and took the ram and offered it as a burnt offering instead of [Isaac], his son.
