Where would Joseph Smith have learned the tradition that Abraham was saved by God before being sacrificed?

Abraham 1:15-17 describes Abraham being delivered by the Lord:

And as they lifted up their hands upon me, that they might offer me up and take away my life, behold, I lifted up my voice unto the Lord my God, and the Lord hearkened and heard, and he filled me with the vision of the Almighty, and the angel of his presence stood by me, and immediately unloosed my bands;
And his voice was unto me: Abraham, Abraham, behold, my name is Jehovah, and I have heard thee, and have come down to deliver thee, and to take thee away from thy father’s house, and from all thy kinsfolk, into a strange land which thou knowest not of;
And this because they have turned their hearts away from me, to worship the god of Elkenah, and the god of Libnah, and the god of Mahmackrah, and the god of Korash, and the god of Pharaoh, king of Egypt; therefore I have come down to visit them, and to destroy him who hath lifted up his hand against thee, Abraham, my son, to take away thy life.

Jeff Lindsay notes how many other texts (discovered after the Book of Abraham) include similar accounts, namely:

Biblical Antiquities
Tanna debe Eliyahu
Midrash Rabbah
The Babylonian Talmud
The Story of Abraham our Father from What Appended to Him with Nimrod
A Study (Midrash) of Abraham our Father

Why do so many texts agree with the Book of Abraham in this regard?
