Nous voici à l’aube du Triduum Pascal, cette période de trois jours qui célèbre la Pâque de Jésus avec son dernier repas, sa passion et sa résurrection.
Ce chapitre du cycle d’Abraham pourra offusquer nos oreilles contemporaines et soulever bien des questions. Pourquoi vouloir sacrifier ce fils promis par Dieu lui-même et tant espéré depuis des années ? Que faut-il comprendre de ce 'sacrifice d’Isaac’ ?
La naissance d'Isaac vient remettre en cause la place d'Ismaël au sein du clan. Une autre querelle entre Sara et Abraham à propos d'Agar et son enfant.
Après Loth (Gn 19), nous retrouvons Abraham et faisons la connaissance d’un nouveau personnage : Abimélèk, roi philistin de Guérar, à l’occasion de deux péripéties.
Nous connaissons déjà la fin de cette histoire : Sodome sera détruite avec Gomorrhe. Cependant, il ne faut pas oublier que le héros de ce récit est d’abord Loth. Le texte se focalise en effet sur son attitude de moins en moins glorieuse.
Avec ce 8e épisode nous ouvrons un chapitre assez étrange dans cette histoire d’Abraham. Ce passage apparaît comme une simple réitération de la promesse d’un fils au patriarche. Cependant, cette réitération ne consiste pas en une simple répétition et annonce aussi la prochaine destruction de Sodome et Gomorrhe.
Notre épisode ouvre le second volet de l’histoire d’Abram qui va devenir Abraham. Treize ans se sont écoulées après la naissance d’Ismaël. Une nouvelle manifestation divine va changer radicalement la situation du patriarche.
La descendance d’Abram est désormais annoncée avec un fils sorti de ses entrailles. Cependant la mise en œuvre de cette promesse de Dieu risque d’être complexe en raison de la stérilité de Saraï.
