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 Jehovah -jireh: 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 Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.
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.
