RAV KOOK ON Vayeira Part 2: Preparing for the Akeidah

he Torah records a peculiar exchange that took place before the Akeidah. Before commanding Abraham to offer up his beloved son Isaac, God called out to Abraham: “Abraham!” And Abraham responded, “Here I am.” (Gen. 22:1) Why did God call to Abraham by name? And what was Abraham’s response, “Here I am"? Did Abraham think that God wasn’t sure where he was? What was the purpose of this brief exchange?
