The Binding of Isaac ' s plot is very loosely inspired by the biblical story of the same name. [12] Isaac, a child, and his mother live in a small house on a hill, happily keeping to themselves, with Isaac drawing pictures and playing with his toys, and his mother watching Christian broadcasts on television.
Other Christians from the period saw Isaac as a type of the "Word of God" who prefigured Christ. [23] This interpretation can be supported by symbolism and context such as Abraham sacrificing his son on the third day of the journey (Genesis 22:4), or Abraham taking the wood and putting it on his son Isaac's shoulder (Genesis 22:6).

[2] According to the narrative, he died aged 180, the longest-lived of the three patriarchs. [2]
