<P> The submission of Abraham and his son is celebrated and commemorated by Muslims on the days of Eid al - Adha . During the festival, those who can afford and the ones in the pilgrimage sacrifice a ram, cow, sheep or a camel . Part of the sacrifice meat is eaten by the household and remaining is distributed to the neighbors and the needy . The festival marks the end of the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca . </P> <P> In Islam, the site of al - Marwah near the Kaaba is identified with the Moriah mentioned in the Book of Genesis . </P> <P> Modern scholars operating under the framework of the documentary hypothesis commonly ascribe the Binding's narrative to the biblical source E, on the grounds that it generally uses the specific term Elohim (אלוהים) and parallels characteristic E compositions . On that view, the second angelic appearance to Abraham (v. 14--18), praising his obedience and blessing his offspring, is in fact a later Jahwist interpolation to E's original account (v. 1--13, 19). This is supported by the style and composition of these verses, as well as by the use of the name Yahweh for the deity . </P> <P> In Mimesis: The Representation of Reality in Western Literature, the literary critic Erich Auerbach considers the Hebrew narrative of the Binding of Isaac, along with Homer's description of Odysseus's scar, as the two paradigmatic models for the representation of reality in literature . Auerbach contrasts Homer's attention to detail and foregrounding of the spatial, historical, as well as personal contexts for events to the Bible's sparse account, in which virtually all context is kept in the background or left outside of the narrative . As Auerbach observes, this narrative strategy virtually compels readers to add their own interpretations to the text . </P>
