This YouTube video by Leel Aden reinterprets the Akedah (Genesis 22): God never commanded Abraham to sacrifice Isaac but to “elevate” him spiritually (le’olah means elevation, not burnt offering). Abraham misinterpreted due to pagan child-sacrifice norms; God stopped him, proving abhorrence of it. Abraham erred, leading to isolation. Modern parallel: corrupting children’s innocence is metaphorical sacrifice.
