Abraham's Offering, (Gen. xxii.) Abraham at the command of God laid his only son Isaac upon an altar to sacrifice him to Jehovah, when his hand was stayed and a ram substituted for Isaac.

¶ So Agamemnon at Aulis was about to offer up his daugher Iphigenia at the command of Artemis (Diana), when Artemis carried her off in a cloud and substituted a stag instead.

This ram was one of the 10 animals taken to heaven, according to Mahomet's teaching.
