1 ¶ And after this it came to pass, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.

2 And he said, Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell you of.

3 ¶ And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and cut the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to 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 to his young men, Wait here with the donkey; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and return again to you.

6 And Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they both went together.

7 And Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Here are the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?

8 And Abraham said, My son, God himself will provide a lamb for a burnt offering: so they walked on both of them together.

9 When they came to the place which God had told him of; 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 to him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.

12 And he said, Do not lay your hand upon the lad, nor do anything to him: for now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son from me.

13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw a ram behind him caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the place of his son.

14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jahweh will provide: so to this day it is said, On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.

15 ¶ And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham out of heaven the second time,

16 And said, By myself have I sworn, says the LORD, for because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son:

17 That in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and your seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;

18 And in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because you have hearkened to my voice.

19 So Abraham returned to 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, has also born children to your 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, also bore Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.
