Abraham and Isaac appear in The Parable of the Old Man and the Young Abraham. Abram is the Biblical father of Isaac. God orders Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, but as Abraham prepares to do as God has asked, God tells him to sacrifice a ram instead. In the Bible, Abraham spares his. In Owen's poem, Abraham kills Isaac, alongside half of Europe's young men.
