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.
