CREA
     Unfortunately, that explanation disintegrates when it encounters the
utterance at Genesis 22:12, where the "Angel of the LORD", acting as a
mouthpiece for old YHWH relays the following statement:


  [22:12]  "And he said,  'Lay not thy hand upon the lad, neither do thee
anything unto him:  FOR NOW I KNOW that thou fearest God, seeing that thou
hast not withheld thy son, thine only son FROM ME."  (my emphasis)
