According to the midrash, Abraham’s apparent obedience to God’s command caused Sarah’s death and Isaac’s alienation from him forever after. Although Abraham and Isaac ascend Moriah together, the Torah emphasizes that Abraham “returned to his servants” alone (Genesis 22:19); Abraham and Isaac settle in different places and never speak to each other again.
