In Genesis 22 we know that God told Abraham to sacrifice Isaac as an offering and Abraham followed God's orders, but was stopped when an angel of the Lord appeared and stopped Abraham.

book of Genesis we find only two accounts of reconciliation between feuding siblings: Jacob’s reunion with his brother Esau (Gen ); and Joseph’s act of mercy towards his brothers (Gen 45: 1-28).
