Feldman argues that the story of Isaac's binding, in both its biblical and post-biblical versions (the New Testament included) has had a great impact on the ethos of altruist heroism and self-sacrifice in modern Hebrew national culture. In Glory and Agony: Isaac's Sacrifice and National Narrative, Yael S.

First, Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac demonstrates the limit of humanity's capability to both love and fear God. In The Guide for the Perplexed, Maimonides argues that the story of the binding of Isaac contains two "great notions". The thought of actually killing Isaac never crossed their minds.

Citing the Prophet Jeremiah's exhortation against child sacrifice (Chapter 19), they state unequivocally that such behavior "never crossed God’s mind", referring specifically to the sacrificial slaughter of Isaac. This is precisely how the sages of the Talmud (Taanit 4a) understood the Akedah. God's commandment to Abraham was very specific, and Abraham understood it very precisely: Isaac was to be "raised up as an offering", and God would use the opportunity to teach humankind, once and for all, that human sacrifice, child sacrifice, is not acceptable.

If the player messes up, or takes too long, Gurgly will deal 1 Heart worth of damage to Isaac and heal herself by 20 HP. If Isaac is caught in it, he is swallowed whole by the tube and forced into the stomach in which the player has to play a rhythm mini-game to escape (Yes, I'm into Vore, don't google it, I'm weird.) In this mini-game, the player needs to input buttons in a certain order 5 times and the mini-game resets when the player makes a mistake. After taking 250 damage, phase 2 begins as her stomach tube gains the ability to change roles from a shooter to a vacuum. in both phases, her attacks are similar to her living counterpart, except she's firing her projectiles from a tube connected to her giant stomach at the top of the intestinal mound and the projectiles leave acid creep.
