Abraham

16) And now behold, Moses did not only testify of these things, but also all the holy prophets, from his days even to the days of Abraham.
17) Yea, and behold, Abraham saw of his coming, and was filled with gladness and did rejoice.
18) Yea, and behold I say unto you, that Abraham not only knew of these things, but there were many before the days of Abraham who were called by the order of God; yea, even after the order of his Son; and this that it should be shown unto the people, a great many thousand years before his coming, that even redemption should come unto them.

Multiple apocryphal sources hold that the command to sacrifice Isaac was a trick from Satan.
The structure for this trick sounds similar to some story structures common in Grimm's Fairy tales. Sometimes these story structures are based on much more ancient oral traditions, but I would want to investigate the possibility that these apocryphal traditions might be affected by medieval interpolations. (The Book of Jasher, for one, certainly seems to have significant medieval interpolations.)
