1 Μετα δε τα πραγματα ταυτα ο Θεος εδοκιμασε τον Αβρααμ, και ειπε προς αυτον, Αβρααμ· ο δε ειπεν, Ιδου, εγω.

2 Και ειπε, Λαβε τωρα τον υιον σου τον μονογενη, τον οποιον ηγαπησας, τον Ισαακ, και υπαγε εις τον τοπον Μορια, και προσφερε αυτον εκει εις ολοκαυτωμα, επι ενος των ορεων, το οποιον θελω σοι ειπει.

3 Σηκωθεις δε Αβρααμ ενωρις το πρωι, εσαμαρωσε την ονον αυτου και ελαβε μεθ' εαυτου δυο εκ των δουλων αυτου και Ισαακ τον υιον αυτου· και σχισας ξυλα δια την ολοκαυτωσιν, εσηκωθη και υπηγεν εις τον τοπον τον οποιον ειπε προς αυτον ο Θεος.

4 Την δε τριτην ημεραν υψωσας ο Αβρααμ τους οφθαλμους αυτου, ειδε τον τοπον μακροθεν.

5 Και ειπεν ο Αβρααμ προς τους δουλους αυτου, Σεις καθισατε αυτου μετα της ονου· εγω δε και το παιδαριον θελομεν υπαγει εως εκει· και αφου προσκυνησωμεν, θελομεν επιστρεψει προς εσας.

6 Και λαβων ο Αβρααμ τα ξυλα της ολοκαυτωσεως, επεθεσεν επι τον Ισαακ τον υιον αυτου· και ελαβεν εις την χειρα αυτου το πυρ, και την μαχαιραν, και υπηγον οι δυο ομου.

7 Τοτε ελαλησεν ο Ισαακ προς Αβρααμ τον πατερα αυτου και ειπε, Πατερ μου. Ο δε ειπεν, Ιδου, εγω, τεκνον μου. Και ειπεν ο Ισαακ, Ιδου, το πυρ και τα ξυλα· αλλα που το προβατον δια την ολοκαυτωσιν;

8 Και ειπεν ο Αβρααμ, Ο Θεος, τεκνον μου, θελει προβλεψει εις εαυτον το προβατον δια την ολοκαυτωσιν. Και επορευοντο οι δυο ομου.

9 Αφου δε εφθασαν εις τον τοπον τον οποιον ειπε προς αυτον ο Θεος, ωκοδομησεν εκει ο Αβρααμ το θυσιαστηριον και διεθεσε τα ξυλα, και δεσας τον Ισαακ τον υιον αυτου εβαλεν αυτον επι το θυσιαστηριον επανω των ξυλων·

10 και εκτεινας ο Αβρααμ την χειρα αυτου, ελαβε την μαχαιραν δια να σφαξη τον υιον αυτου.

11 Αγγελος δε Κυριου εφωνησε προς αυτον εκ του ουρανου και ειπεν, Αβρααμ, Αβρααμ. Ο δε ειπεν, Ιδου, εγω.

12 Και ειπε, Μη επιβαλης την χειρα σου επι το παιδαριον, και μη πραξης εις αυτο μηδεν· διοτι τωρα εγνωρισα οτι συ φοβεισαι τον Θεον, επειδη δεν ελυπηθης τον υιον σου τον μονογενη δι' εμε.

13 Και υψωσας ο Αβρααμ τους οφθαλμους αυτου ειδε· και ιδου, κριος οπισθεν αυτου, κρατουμενος απο των κερατων αυτου εις φυτον πυκνοκλαδον· και ελθων ο Αβρααμ, ελαβε τον κριον και προσεφερεν αυτον εις ολοκαυτωμα αντι του υιου αυτου.

14 Και εκαλεσεν ο Αβρααμ το ονομα του τοπου εκεινου Ιεοβα-ιρε· ως λεγεται και την σημερον, Εν τω ορει ο Κυριος θελει εμφανισθη.

15 Και εφωνησε δευτερον ο αγγελος του Κυριου προς τον Αβρααμ εκ του ουρανου,

16 και ειπεν, Ωμοσα εις εμαυτον, λεγει Κυριος, οτι, επειδη επραξας το πραγμα τουτο και δεν ελυπηθης τον υιον σου, τον μονογενη σου,

17 οτι ευλογων θελω σε ευλογησει, και πληθυνων θελω πληθυνει το σπερμα σου ως τα αστρα του ουρανου και ως την αμμον την παρα το χειλος της θαλασσης· και το σπερμα σου θελει κυριευσει τας πυλας των εχθρων αυτου·

18 και εν τω σπερματι σου θελουσιν ευλογηθη παντα τα εθνη της γης· διοτι υπηκουσας εις την φωνην μου.

19 Και επεστρεψεν ο Αβρααμ προς τους δουλους αυτου· και σηκωθεντες, υπηγον ομου εις Βηρ-σαβεε· και κατωκησεν ο Αβρααμ Ενβηρ-σαβεε.

20 Μετα δε τα πραγματα ταυτα, ανηγγειλαν προς τον Αβρααμ λεγοντες, Ιδου, η Μελχα εγεννησε και αυτη υιους εις τον Ναχωρ τον αδελφον σου·

21 τον Ουζ πρωτοτοκον αυτου, και τον Βουζ αδελφον αυτου, και τον Κεμουηλ τον πατερα του Αραμ,

22 και τον Κεσεδ, και τον Αζαυ, και τον Φαλδες, και τον Ιελδαφ, και τον Βαθουηλ.

23 Ο δε Βαθουηλ εγεννησε την Ρεβεκκαν· τους οκτω τουτους εγεννησεν η Μελχα εις τον Ναχωρ τον αδελφον του Αβρααμ.

24 Και η παλλακη αυτου, η ονομαζομενη Ρευμα, εγεννησε και αυτη τον Ταβεκ και τον Γααμ και τον Ταχας και τον Μααχα.

2796. As regards the putting on of the various states by the Lord which is here treated of, they cannot but be unknown to man, because he never reflects on his changes of state; which are nevertheless going on continually, both as to what is of the understanding or the thoughts, and as to what is of the will or the affections. The reason of his not reflecting upon them is that he believes that all things in him follow in natural order, and that there is nothing higher which directs; whereas the case is that all things are disposed by means of the spirits and angels with him; and all his states and changes of states are therefrom, and are thus to eternity directed by the Lord to ends which the Lord alone foresees. That the reality is so, has become most fully known to me now by the experience of many years. It has also been given me to know and observe what spirits and angels were with me, and what states they induced; and this I can solemnly assert -- that all states, even to the least particulars, come from this source and are thereby directed by the Lord. It has also been given to know and observe that in every state there are a great many others, which do not appear, and which together appear as one general state; and that these states are disposed in relation to the states which follow in order in their series. With a man these things are done by the Lord; but with the Lord Himself, when He lived in the world, they were done by Himself; because He was Divine, and the very being of His life was Jehovah.

[2] The changes of state with man as to what is of the understanding and as to what is of the will, and the order in which they follow on, as also the series through which they pass, and thus how they are bent by the Lord as far as possible to good, it belongs to the angels to know. The wisdom of the angels is such that they perceive all these things most minutely. Hence it is that these things which are revealed in the internal sense concerning the changes of state with the Lord, are clearly and distinctly perceivable by the angels, because they are in the light of heaven from the Lord; and they are also in some degree intelligible to a man who lives in simple good; but they are merely obscure and as nothing to those who are in evil, and also to those who are in the deliriums of wisdom; for these have obscured and extinguished their natural and rational light by many things which have induced darkness, however much they may believe that they are preeminently in light.
