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.
