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.
