Rabbi Johanan, on the authority of Rabbi Jose ben Zimra, asked what means by the word "after" in "And it came to pass after these words, that God did tempt Abraham." Rabbi Johanan explained that it meant after the words of Satan, as follows. After the events of , which reports that Isaac grew, was weaned, and Abraham made a great feast the day that Isaac was weaned, Satan asked God how it could be that God graciously granted Abraham a child at the age of 100, yet of all that feast, Abraham did not sacrifice one turtle-dove or pigeon to God. Rather, Abraham did nothing but honor his son. God replied that were God to ask Abraham to sacrifice his son to God, Abraham would do so without hesitation. Straightway, as reports, "God did tempt Abraham."
