¹ Poslije tih događaja Bog stavi Abrahama na kušnju. Zovnu ga: "Abrahame!" On odgovori: "Evo me!"

² Bog nastavi: "Uzmi svoga sina, jedinca svoga Izaka koga ljubiš, i pođi u krajinu Moriju pa ga ondje prinesi kao žrtvu paljenicu na brdu koje ću ti pokazati."

³ Ujutro Abraham podrani, osamari magarca, sa sobom povede dvojicu svojih slugu i svog sina Izaka, pošto je prije nacijepao drva za žrtvu paljenicu, i uputi se na mjesto koje mu je Bog označio.

⁴ Treći dan Abraham podigne oči i opazi mjesto izdaleka.

⁵ Abraham onda reče slugama: "Vi ostanite ovdje uz magarca, a ja i dječak odosmo gore da se poklonimo, pa ćemo se vratiti k vama".

⁶ Abraham uzme drva za žrtvu paljenicu, stavi ih na sina Izaka, a u svoju ruku uzme kremen i nož. Tako pođu obojica zajedno.

⁷ Onda Izak reče svome ocu Abrahamu: "Oče!" "Evo me, sine!" - javi se on. "Evo kremena i drva," opet će sin, "ali gdje je janje za žrtvu paljenicu?"

⁸ "Bog će već providjeti janje za žrtvu paljenicu, sine moj!" - odgovori Abraham. I nastave put.

⁹ Stignu na mjesto o kojemu je Bog govorio. Ondje Abraham podigne žrtvenik, naslaže drva, sveže svog sina Izaka i položi ga po drvima na žrtvenik.

¹⁰ Pruži sad Abraham ruku i uzme nož da zakolje svog sina.

¹¹ Uto ga zovne s neba anđeo Jahvin i poviče: "Abrahame! Abrahame!" "Evo me!" - odgovori on.

¹² "Ne spuštaj ruku na dječaka", reče, "niti mu što čini! Sad, evo, znam da se Boga bojiš, jer nisi uskratio ni svog sina, jedinca svoga."

¹³ Podiže Abraham oči i pogleda, i gle - za njim ovan, rogovima se zapleo u grmu. Tako Abraham ode, uzme ovna i prinese ga za žrtvu paljenicu mjesto svoga sina.

¹⁴ Onome mjestu Abraham dade ime "Jahve proviđa". Zato se danas veli: "Na brdu Jahvina proviđanja."

¹⁵ Anđeo Jahvin zovne Abrahama s neba drugi put

¹⁶ i reče: "Kunem se samim sobom, izjavljuje Jahve: Kad si to učinio i nisi mi uskratio svog jedinca sina,

¹⁷ svoj ću blagoslov na te izliti i učiniti tvoje potomstvo brojnim poput zvijezda na nebu i pijeska na obali morskoj! A tvoji će potomci osvajati vrata svojih neprijatelja.

¹⁸ Budući da si poslušao moju zapovijed, svi će se narodi zemlje blagoslivljati tvojim potomstvom."

¹⁹ Zatim se Abraham vrati k svojim slugama pa se zajedno upute u Beer Šebu. U Beer Šebi se Abraham nastani.
