Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, sentence 2

In a hard story, God told Abraham to offer Isaac, then stopped him and provided a ram instead; many read it as showing that God does not want child sacrifice and that God provides.

Who acts: God, many · What happens: tell, offer, stop, provide, read, show · To what, where: Abraham, hard story, Isaac, ram, child sacrifice · Speech: someone speaks here

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R7-rel-agree ×1, R8-pos-agree ×1. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
