I don’t have a probable with the story .
What I am saying is you can not base doctrine on historical books since they are not perfect because they are not inspired by the Holy Spirit . Everything you need for doctrine is in the Scriptures .

You mentioned that you know why Sarah wasn’t there .
I know the Rabbis say Sarah wasn’t there because she was going to buy the cave in Hebron that she was buried in.
In reality Sarah was not there when Abraham bound Issac because God did not want her to be there . Abraham knew the promises God had given him through Issac and he knew he was acting out prophecy and that is why he said God himself would provide the lamb. Sarah wasn’t there because Abraham acting out the sacrifice is a picture of the Father sacrificing his Son . That’s the real reason behind why Sarah was not there and God had her somewhere else. You miss stuff like this if you put to value on a tradition instead of what the word actually says .

I am not sure where the Rabbis got that nonsense, but that is what it was. You have the Book of Jasher, so turn to Chapter 23. There is also some setup at the end of Chapter 22.

Sarah is in Hebron because Satan had told her that Abraham had sacrificed Isaac and she had gone to look for them. When she gets to Hebron, Satan comes and tells her that he lied and Isaac is not dead. Then her joy was so exceedingly violent on account of her son, that her soul went out through joy; she died and was gathered to her people.

Abraham and Isaac get home, and are told Sarah went to Hebron looking for them.

And now, you know the rest of the story. ;-)
