1 這些事以要試驗亞伯拉罕,就呼叫他亞伯拉罕!他:我在這裡。

2 :你帶著你的兒子,就是你獨生的兒子,你所以撒,往摩利亞去,在我所要指示你的上,把他獻為燔祭。

3 亞伯拉罕起來,備上,帶著兩個僕人和他兒子以撒,也劈好了燔祭的柴,就起身往所指示他的地方去了。

4 到了第三日,亞伯拉罕舉目遠遠的見那地方

5 亞伯拉罕對他的僕人:你們和在此等候,我與童子往那裡去拜一拜,就回到你們這裡來。

6 亞伯拉罕把燔祭的柴放在他兒子以撒身上,自己裡拿著與刀;於是人同行。

7 以撒對他父親亞伯拉罕父親哪!亞伯拉罕:我兒,我在這裡。以撒:請看,與柴都有了,但燔祭的羊羔在那裡呢?

8 亞伯拉罕:我兒,必自己預備作燔祭的羊羔。於是人同行。

9 他們到了所指示的地方亞伯拉罕在那裡築,把柴擺好,捆綁他的兒子以撒,放在的柴上。

10 亞伯拉罕就伸拿刀,要殺他的兒子

11 耶和華的使者從呼叫亞伯拉罕亞伯拉罕!他:我在這裡。

12 天使:你不可在這童子身上下。一點不可害他!現在我知道你是敬畏的了;因為你沒有將你的兒子,就是你獨生的兒子,留下不給我。

13 亞伯拉罕舉目觀,不料,有一隻公,兩角扣在稠密的小樹中,亞伯拉罕就取了那隻公來,獻為燔祭,代替他的兒子

14 亞伯拉罕給那地方起名耶和華以勒(意思就是耶和華必預備的意思),直到今日人還:在耶和華的上必有預備。

15 耶和華的使者第二次從呼叫亞伯拉罕說:

16 耶和華:你既行了這事,不留下你的兒子,就是你獨生的兒子,我便指著自己起誓

17 論福,我必賜大福給你;論子孫,我必叫你的子孫多起來,如同上的邊的沙。你子孫必得著仇敵的城

18 並且上萬國都必因你的後裔得福,因為你聽從了我的話。

19 於是亞伯拉罕回到他僕人那裡,他們一同起身往別是巴去,亞伯拉罕在別是巴。

20 這事以,有人告訴亞伯拉罕說:密迦給你兄弟拿鶴生了幾個兒子

21 長子是烏斯,他的兄弟是布斯和亞蘭的父親基母利,

22 並基薛、哈瑣、必達、益拉、彼土利(彼土利生利百加)。

23 個人都是密迦給亞伯拉罕的兄弟拿鶴生的。

24 拿鶴的妾名叫流瑪,生了提八、迦含、他轄,和瑪迦。

2764. Genesis 22

1. And so it was after these events, that God tempted Abraham, and said to him, Abraham. And he said, Here I am.

2. And He said, Take now your son, your only one, whom you love, Isaac, and get you to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I tell you.

3. And in the morning Abraham rose up early, and saddled his ass, and took two of his servants 1 with him, and Isaac his son, and split the pieces of wood for the burnt offering, and rose up and went to the place of which God had told him.

4. On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place from afar off.

5. And Abraham said to his servants, Remain here with the ass, and I and the boy will go over there, and we will bow ourselves down, and return to you.

6. And Abraham took the pieces of wood for the burnt offering and laid them on Isaac his son; and he took in his hand the fire and the knife, and the two of them went on together.

7. And Isaac said to Abraham his father - he said - My father. And he said, Here I am, my son. And he said, Behold, the fire and the pieces of wood, but where is the animal for the burnt offering?

8. And Abraham said, God will see for Himself to the animal for a burnt offering, my son. And the two of them went on together.

9. And they came to the place of which God told him, and Abraham built the altar there, and laid the pieces of wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, upon the pieces of wood.

10. And Abraham put forth his hand and took the knife to slay his son.

11. And the angel of Jehovah called to him out of heaven, and said Abraham, Abraham. And he said, Here I am.

12. And he said, Do not put forth your hand towards the boy and do not do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God and have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.

13. And Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, a ram behind [him] caught in a thicket by its horns. And Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it as a burnt offering instead of his son.

14. And Abraham called the name of that place, Jehovah will see; as it is said today, On the mountain Jehovah will see [to it].

15. And the angel of Jehovah called to Abraham a second time out of heaven.

16. And he said, By Myself I have sworn, says Jehovah, that because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,

17. I will certainly bless you, and I will certainly multiply your seed like the stars of the heavens and like the sand which is on the seashore. And your seed will inherit the gate of their 2 enemies.

18. And in your seed all the nations of the earth will be blessed because you have hearkened to My voice.

19. And Abraham returned to his servants, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt in Beersheba.

20. And so it was, after these events, 3 that it was pointed out to Abraham, saying, Behold, Milkah, she also has borne sons, to Nahor your brother:

21. Uz her firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram;

22. And Kesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.

23. And Bethuel begot Rebekah. These eight Milkah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.

24. And his concubine, whose name was Reumah; and she too bore Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maakah.

CONTENTS

The subject in this chapter in the internal sense is the Lord's severest and inmost temptations, by means of which He united the Human Essence to the Divine Essence; then it is the salvation by means of that union of those who constitute the Lord's spiritual Church.

Footnotes:

1. Here and in verses 5 and 19 the word translated servants is the same as that used for boys.

2. The Latin means your but the Hebrew means their.
