GE-22:1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did
tempt
Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, [here]
I
[am].
GE-22:2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only [son] Isaac,
whom
thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him
there
for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell
thee
of.
GE-22:3 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled
his
ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son,
and
clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went
unto the
place of which God had told him.
GE-22:4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and
saw the
place afar off.
GE-22:5 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with
the
ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come
again to
you.
GE-22:6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and
laid
[it] upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a
knife; and they went both of them together.
GE-22:7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My
father:
and he said, Here [am] I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire
and the
wood: but where [is] the lamb for a burnt offering?
GE-22:8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a
lamb for
a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
GE-22:9 And they came to the place which God had told him of;
and
Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and
bound
Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
GE-22:10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the
knife to
slay his son.
GE-22:11 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of
heaven, and
said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here [am] I.
GE-22:12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither
do
thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God,
seeing
thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only [son] from me.
GE-22:13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold
behind [him] a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham
went
and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the
stead
of his son.
GE-22:14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh:
as
it is said [to] this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be
seen.
GE-22:15 And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of
heaven
the second time,
GE-22:16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for
because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son,
thine only [son]:
GE-22:17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying
I
will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the
sand
which [is] upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the
gate of
his enemies;
GE-22:18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be
blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
GE-22:19 So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose
up and
went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.
GE-22:20 And it came to pass after these things, that it was
told
Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children
unto thy
brother Nahor;
GE-22:21 Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the
father of Aram,
GE-22:22 And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and
Bethuel.
GE-22:23 And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear
to
Nahor, Abraham's brother.
GE-22:24 And his concubine, whose name [was] Reumah, she bare
also
Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.
