1 Posle toga htede Bog okušati Avrama, pa mu reče: Avrame! A on odgovori: Evo me.

2 I reče mu Bog: Uzmi sada sina svog, jedinca svog milog, Isaka, pa idi u zemlju Moriju, i spali ga na žrtvu tamo na brdu gde ću ti kazati.

3 I sutradan rano ustavši Avram osamari magarca svog, i uze sa sobom dva momka i Isaka sina svog; i nacepavši drva za žrtvu podiže se i pođe na mesto koje mu kaza Bog.

4 Treći dan podigavši oči svoje Avram ugleda mesto iz daleka.

5 I reče Avram momcima svojim: Ostanite vi ovde s magarcem, a ja i dete idemo onamo, pa kad se pomolimo Bogu, vratićemo se k vama.

6 I uzevši Avram drva za žrtvu naprti Isaku sinu svom, a sam uze u svoje ruke ognja i nož; pa otidoše obojica zajedno.

7 Tada reče Isak Avramu ocu svom: Oče! A on reče: Šta je, sine! I reče Isak: Eto ognja i drva, a gde je jagnje za žrtvu?

8 A Avram odgovori: Bog će se, sinko, postarati za jagnje sebi na žrtvu. I iđahu obojica zajedno.

9 A kad dođoše na mesto koje mu Bog kaza, Avram načini onde žrtvenik, i metnu drva na nj, i svezavši Isaka sina svog metnu ga na žrtvenik vrh drva;

10 I izmahnu Avram rukom svojom i uze nož da zakolje sina svog.

11 Ali anđeo Gospodnji viknu ga s neba, i reče: Avrame! Avrame! A on reče: Evo me.

12 A anđeo reče: Ne diži ruku svoju na dete, i ne čini mu ništa; jer sada poznah da se bojiš Boga, kad nisi požalio sina svog, jedinca svog, mene radi.

13 I Avram podigavši oči svoje pogleda; i gle, ovan iza njega zapleo se u česti rogovima; i otišavši Avram uze ovna i spali ga na žrtvu mesto sina svog.

14 I nazva Avram ono mesto Gospod će se postarati. Zato se i danas kaže: Na brdu, gde će se Gospod postarati.

15 I anđeo Gospodnji opet viknu s neba Avrama.

16 I reče: Sobom se zakleh, veli Gospod: kad si tako učinio, i nisi požalio sina svog, jedinca svog,

17 Zaista ću te blagosloviti i seme tvoje veoma umnožiti, da ga bude kao zvezda na nebu i kao peska na bregu morskom; i naslediće seme tvoje vrata neprijatelja svojih;

18 I blagosloviće se u semenu tvom svi narodi na zemlji, kad si poslušao glas moj.

19 Tada se Avram vrati k momcima svojim, te se digoše, i otidoše zajedno u Virsaveju, jer Avram živeše u Virsaveji.

20 Posle toga javiše Avramu govoreći: Gle, i Melha rodi sinove bratu tvom Nahoru:

21 Uza prvenca i Vuza brata mu, i Kamuila, oca Aramovog,

22 I Hazada i Azava i Faldesa i Jeldafa i Vatuila.

23 A Vatuilo rodi Reveku. Osam ih rodi Melha Nahoru bratu Avramovom.

24 I inoča njegova, po imenu Revma, rodi i ona Taveka i Gama i Tohosa i Moha.

2780. And Abraham rose early in the morning. That this signifies a state of peace and innocence, is evident from the signification of “morning,” and also of “rising early,” when predicated of the Lord, who here is “Abraham.” “Morning” in the universal sense signifies the Lord, and hence His kingdom; consequently the celestial of love in general and in particular ((2333) as was shown n. 2333); and as it signifies these, it signifies the state itself in which they are, which state is that of peace and innocence. The state of peace in the heavens is like that of the dawn on earth. In the state of peace in the heavens come forth all celestial and spiritual things, and derive therefrom all that is auspicious, blessed, and happy in them, as in the time of dawn on earth all things come forth before man as things of delight and gladness; for all the singulars derive their quality from the general affection (see n. 920, 2384). The case is the same with the state of innocence: this comes forth in the state of peace, and is a general thing affecting all the things of love and faith. Unless these have innocence in them, they lack their essential. Hence it is that no one can come into heaven unless he have something of innocence (see Mark 10:15). It is plain from this what “morning” signifies in the internal sense, and still more when it is said that he “rose early in the morning;” and as in the highest sense “morning” is the Lord, and as the state is from Him which effects and affects all things in His kingdom, “morning” and “rising in the morning” signify many other things which come forth in that state; and this as related to the things which follow in the internal sense.
