Who was to be sacrificed - Ishmael or Isaac?




Genesis 22:2  Revised Standard Version (RSV)
He said, “Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Mori′ah, and offer him there as a burnt offering upon one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.”

Question: Was Isaac is the only son of Abraham??

Genesis 16:16  English Standard Version (ESV)
Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.

Genesis 21:5  Revised Standard Version (RSV)
 Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.

Note: Ishmael was borned before Isaac


Both Ishmael & Isaac was part of the Convenant


Genesis 17: 19-27 Revised Standard Version (RSV)
19 God said, “No, but Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac.[d] I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasing covenant for his descendants after him. 
20 As for Ish′mael, I have heard you; behold, I will bless him and make him fruitful and multiply him exceedingly; he shall be the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation. 
21 But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this season next year.”
22 When he had finished talking with him, God went up from Abraham.
 23 Then Abraham took Ish′mael his son and all the slaves born in his house or bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham’s house, and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskins that very day, as God had said to him. 
24 Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. 
25 And Ish′mael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. 
26 That very day Abraham and his son Ish′mael were circumcised; 27 and all the men of his house, those born in the house and those bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.


Genesis 21:8-21  Revised Standard Version (RSV)
8 And the child grew, and was weaned; and Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned. 
9 But Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, playing with her son Isaac.[a] 
10 So she said to Abraham, “Cast out this slave woman with her son; for the son of this slave woman shall not be heir with my son Isaac.” 
11 And the thing was very displeasing to Abraham on account of his son. 
12 But God said to Abraham, “Be not displeased because of the lad and because of your slave woman; whatever Sarah says to you, do as she tells you, for through Isaac shall your descendants be named
13 And I will make a nation of the son of the slave (Ishmael) woman also, because he is your offspring.” 
14 So Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread and a skin of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, along with the child, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
15 When the water in the skin was gone, she cast the child under one of the bushes. 
16 Then she went, and sat down over against him a good way off, about the distance of a bowshot; for she said, “Let me not look upon the death of the child.” And as she sat over against him, the child lifted up his voice[b] and wept. 
17 And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, and said to her, “What troubles you, Hagar? Fear not; for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is. 
18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him fast with your hand; for I will make him (Ishmael) a great nation.” 
19 Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the skin with water, and gave the lad a drink. 
20 And God was with the lad, and he grew up; he lived in the wilderness, and became an expert with the bow. 
21 He lived in the wilderness of Paran; and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt.



Deuteronomy 21:15-17 Revised Standard Version (RSV)
The Right of the Firstborn
15 “If a man has two wives, the one loved and the other disliked, and they have borne him children, both the loved and the disliked, and if the first-born son is hers that is disliked, 
16 then on the day when he assigns his possessions as an inheritance to his sons, he may not treat the son of the loved as the first-born in preference to the son of the disliked, who is the first-born
17 but he shall acknowledge the first-born, the son of the disliked, by giving him a double portion of all that he has, for he is the first issue of his strength; the right of the first-born is his.

Say, [O believers], "We have believed in Allah and what has been revealed to us and what has been revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the Descendants and what was given to Moses and Jesus and what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him."
(Quran-2:136)

And [mention, O Muhammad], when Abraham was tried by his Lord with commands and he fulfilled them. [ Allah ] said, "Indeed, I will make you a leader for the people." [Abraham] said, "And of my descendants?" [ Allah ] said, "My covenant does not include the wrongdoers."
(Quran-2:124)

16 Then she went, and sat down over against him a good way off, about the distance of a bowshot; for she said, “Let me not look upon the death of the child.” And as she sat over against him, the child lifted up his voice[b] and wept.
17 And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, and said to her, “What troubles you, Hagar? Fear not; for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is.
18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him fast with your hand; for I will make him (Ishmael) a great nation.”

20 And God was with the lad, and he grew up; he lived in the wilderness, and became an expert with the bow.
