James 2:21 - Offered Isaac - Aaron S - 09-20-2010
Here's a wordplay with the name Yitzchaq (Ischaq):
[font="Estrangelo (V1.1)"]0xbdm L9 hrb Qxsy0l Qs0d Qddz0 0db9 Nm 0wh f Mhrb0 Jwb0[/font]
avun avraham la hwa men `avade ezdadaq daseq lischaq breh al madb'cha
Was not our father Abraham by works justified, when he raised Isaac his son upon the altar?
Though officially it's not a wordplay utilizing shared roots, it's nonetheless an interesting grouping of sounds.
