Why then :

NAsbU Genesis 22:8 Abraham said, "God will provide for Himself the lamb
for the burnt offering, my son." So the two of them walked on together.

Genesis 22:8 Abraham said, "God will provide for Himself the lamb for the burnt offering, my son." So the two of them walked on together.

Abraham was being tested, as we all know.

And I would suggest that it isn't necessary to worry about what Abraham said on that occasion, and that what is needed is to focus more on what Jesus Christ said about how to reach the Father.

Throughout the Jewish scriptures, the prophets declared that repentance and charity are more pleasing to God for atonement than a blood sacrifice.

Too, often people inject things into the text that are not there, trying to fulfill their own prophecies.

One could also view this instance as God didn't want the shedding of human blood and brought forth an animal.

Hosea 14
2 Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.

The 'calves of our lips'. Animal sacrifice was to be replaced with prayer.
