Genesis 21-23, Psalm 8

The writer of Hebrews has this to say of Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice Isaac:

19 He considered the fact that God is able even to raise someone from the dead—and, figuratively speaking, he did receive him back.

Hebrews 11:19 NRSVUE

An uncommon act of faith and trust.

Psalm note: In stunning poetry, David recapitulates the creation story.
