ISA 14:21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.
DEU 24:16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

God often uses similies and metifors in meaning for something else.

and why? think about it.
Of course not! Stupid people quote it and refer to it as if it were some infallible "source." It isn't! It's just a bunch of story, contradictory and edited. And who cares anyway?

Originally posted by Nordlys So what is child-slaughter a "similie" or "metifor" for?
Well, in Isaac's case, it was a "metifor" for obeying the voices in your head even if they want the blood sacrifice of your firstborn...because it will all work out in the end. You don't need to stand up for your kids. The voices will change their mind and stop you while you're swinging the knife.
