Core Text — EXTRA
וָאֵרָ֗א אֶל־אַבְרָהָ֛ם אֶל־יִצְחָ֥ק וְאֶֽל־יַעֲקֹ֖ב בְּאֵ֣ל שַׁדָּ֑י וּשְׁמִ֣י ה׳ לֹ֥א נוֹדַ֖עְתִּי לָהֶֽם׃

English: The reason G-d listed each patriarch by name rather than grouping them is that His relationship with each was based on something unique. Avraham recognised his Creator without prior human guidance. Yitzchak submitted without question and stretched out his neck on the altar.
