The requested sacrifice of Issac by God had nothing to do with Sarah and I would say she never even new the event took place. If Sarah was 127 yrs. old when she died. Issac would have been 37 yrs. old. I hardly think that a 37 yr. old Man would allow his father to bind him. Genesis 22:5 refers to Issac as a lad. Much later in scripture, Mary is thought to be possibly 14 or 15 when she married Joseph. It was common for girls to be married as young as 12.Jesus was 12 when he told his mother he had been attending his fathers business.So I would think that Issac was possibly as young as 10 or 11. Children to day may struggle with carrying wood but not in this time in history. The point in all of this is, this was all about Abraham's faith which has always proved him righteous before God and this was the ultimate test and Abraham's faith did not fail. He had faith that God would not take his son. His son was given as a promise.
This was done very quietly, without anyone knowing. The young men that accompanied them probably didn't know what took place on the mountain. They had been instructed to stay below and tend to the donkey while he and Issac went to worship. Did Issac question his father about why he had to bind him? Possibly, but Abraham's response would have been for Issac to trust his father, because what he was doing was instructed by God. Like Abraham trusted his heavenly Father so did Issac trust his earthly father. So, with this being said, Sarah nor anyone else would ever know what took place, for the exception of Moses the author of Genesis who was instructed by God to write these things down,so we would have a history of the creation and of God's divine plan set in place before the the foundations of the world.
