Genesis - 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.
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.
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.
4 - Then on the third day Abraham - lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
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.
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.
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?
8 - And Abraham - said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
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.
10 - And Abraham - stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
11 - And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham - , Abraham - : and he said, Here am I.
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.
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.
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.
15 - And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham - out of heaven the second time,
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:
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;
18 - And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
19 - So Abraham - returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba - ; and Abraham - dwelt at Beersheba - .
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 - ;
21 - Huz - his firstborn, and Buz - his brother, and Kemuel - the father of Aram - ,
22 - And Chesed - , and Hazo - , and Pildash - , and Jidlaph - , and Bethuel - .
23 - And Bethuel - begat Rebekah - : these eight Milcah - did bear to Nahor - , Abraham - 's brother.
24 - And his concubine, whose name was Reumah - , she bare also Tebah - , and Gaham - , and Thahash - , and Maachah - .
